Resolution not saved, proprietary ATI drivers, dual monitors

[leneve]

Think the problem is caused by something getting reset on login. After reboot (but before login), the screen is set to the right resolutions for each monitor, but as soon as I login the display flashes and is set to 800x600 cloned single display.

Code: Select all

inxi -G (after setting the correct resolution)

Looked around in ~/.gconf and ~/.config but didn't see anything that screamed "display". Is there a default display config that is run on login but not updated by amdcccle? Maybe session state?

sudo aticonfig --initial
which you've already run, saves the configuration in "/etc/X11/xorg.conf".
Back to the situation. I would have run:
1. gksu amdcccle
to change resolutions. Then
2. sudo aticonfig --initial -f
to make a new and updated "xorg.conf" (don't need to backup the file. It is done automatically)
3. Reboot
