Hi,
Sorry for the late reply, quite busy recently!
So, thanks again for your reply!
When you navigated to the display controls, it should be reached the same for nVidia and ATI, what was the resolution indicated? Does the driver tool indicate a second or virtual monitor?
Well, the resolution says 1280x720, and it doesn't show a second monitor (at the moment the projector is not connected). I will try to get more details next time I use it. Concerning the driver, I don't have any thing listed except the wireless card one (that's Control Center - Hardware - Device Drivers or smoething similar? I use a french system).
gksu aticonfig did'nt do anything for me. I suspect I don't have the correct drivers at all. I tried to install them from ati's website, but didn't get anywhere. I have followed the instructions listed in the document here:
https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/ ... 2-inst.pdf
but I got this in the terminal:
Code: Select all
Created directory fglrx-install.9R41YO
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Of course I don't know the nature or the way to handle this problem, and maybe I don't even have to try this.
I have checked the link you gave me, mbut didn't quite understood. I will go back there and read again.
Thanks again for helping!
Edit: I tried this: sudo aticonfig --initial -f to reset the drivers and got: sudo: aticonfig: command not found
