gutsy - dual monitor problem - ati X1300

[Adrienn Dora Varszegi]

Hello,

I have been struggling to get my 2 monitors working in extended mode under
7.10
- Wide Flat Panel E228WFP 22" and one is a normal 19''
- ATI X1300 Radeon

I tried enabling the restricted drivers and following the instructions in
the Ubuntu Docs:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic restricted-manager

After enabling the restricted drivers and reboot the system became dead
slow. So I had to restore xorg.conf

I also tried playing around the 'Screens and Graphics' admin console:
- the 22'' monitor was the secondary monitor
- exact type (Dell - E228WFP) was present in the list
- the resolution options were not for a wide-screen monitor for.

Actually I am not after shiny effects but I really would like to get the
monitors work..

I am most grateful for any suggestions,
Dora, the newby
