Hi!

I have a big problem with my screen.

I would like to have 'big desktop' but I have monitors with different resolutions.

My graphics card is ATI X1300 pro

Monitors: Samsung 1280x1024 + LG 1440x900

Kernel is 2.6.27.7-desktop-1mnb

 

I have installed:

fglrx-control-center-8.522-3mdv2009.0.x86_64

fglrx-kernel-2.6.27.7-desktop-1mnb-8.522-3mdv2009.0.x86_64

fglrx-kernel-desktop-latest-8.522-1.20081219.3mdv2009.0.x86_64

x11-driver-video-fglrx-8.522-3mdv2009.0.x86_64

 

When I run XFdrake I can choose either the first or the second one monitor but not the both of them.

 

When I run ATI Catalyst Control Center, I can choose the Big Desktop but it seems as it supports only the same resolution for both monitors so once I got 2880x900 and now 2048x768 (i do not why there is not the 2560x1024 option).

Anyway I try to change the xorg.conf file all the time and I can get also the single display or the mirrors or once I got the one display with right resolution and the other was dark but you could get there with the mouse pointer which had changed to cross pointer. ???

And sometimes I am not able to boot to gui at all :)

 

Thanks for help

Sorry to inform you that separate displays are not yet supported by KDE4 at the moment.
Then I must be doing something wrong. Running Mandriva One 2009.0 with KDE4 and using an ATI Radeon HD 3450, my primary monitor is a 1680x1050 LCD and my secondary monitor a 1024x768 LCD, configured with the ATI Catalyst Control Center, and it works just fine (after some trial-and-error, that is).
