You have to manually edit the xorg.conf to set that up, if you post your xorg.conf i can help you make the edits.

I have the same thing as Rod_

When I restart X or Reboot I get cloned screens. I have to back to Applications -> Accessories -> ATI Catalyst Control Center and change back to dual monitors. It never saves this configuration.

Any ideas?

Can someone share their working xorg.conf?

yo rod, ok so what exactly do you mean reinstall the drivers??

the drivers should be there still, do you mean that your dual screen setup, resoluation is being reset after every boot?

Hi there!.
Guys when I restart my laptop I have to reinstall the radeon drivers. How can I avoid this and keep my radeon drivers as default video drivers?.

hey dan, you wanna msg me your xorg.conf , it could be a configuration issue, or your monitors can’t support more than that.

This works, but yealds only dual 1024×768 monitors. Their doesn’t seem to be a way to increase this. I’ve been trying different methods for almost a week now. I’ve gotten one monitor at be 1600×1200, but hte second monitor stays at a lower resolution. - VERY frustrating.

Hmm, not sure if the 9600 is using the legacy driver or the fglrx .. have you tried it out ?

Would this work for a Radeon 9600?
