Dual monitors with ATI Catalyst drivers

Postby ftraian on Tue May 08, 2012 12:38 pm

I had to install official ATI drivers to solve an issue with VirtualBox. So I installed latest available: amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run on Mint 12.

After installing drivers I can use my monitors only in mirror mode. Although in Catalyst Control Center I have the option to choose multi-display or single-display-desktop it's not working. After pressing OK and restarting I have the same mirrored desktop.


Thank you for your help.

Linux Mint is funded by ads and donations.

Dont want to insult you intelligence but have you been through the usual root of system settings > displays? I had this problem at work getting LM 13 to run on two monitors straight away but solved it by using monitor settings.
