Ubuntu Jaunty: ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT working in dual head (Catalyst 9.6)

2 comments

1 – Compile and install driver:
Source: http://wiki.cchtml.com/
sudo aptitude install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++5 dkms

sh ati-driver-installer-9-6-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/jaunty

# i386
sudo dpkg -i xorg-driver-fglrx_*.deb fglrx-kernel-source_*.deb fglrx-amdcccle_*.deb

# AMD64
sudo dpkg -i xorg-driver-fglrx_*.deb fglrx-kernel-source_*.deb fglrx-amdcccle_*.deb

2 – Generate xorg.conf:
sudo aticonfig --initial=dual-head --screen-layout=right

sudo aticonfig --dtop=horizontal --overlay-on=1

sudo aticonfig --xinerama=on

Note: you can do “dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg” to reset you xorg.conf to default values.

3 – Bug workaround:

  1. Login to a tty (ctrl+alt F1) and type sudo killall gdm.
  2. Type sudo nano (or gedit, whichever you prefer) /etc/ati/amdpcsdb to edit the file. Go to the [AMDPCSROOT/SYSTEM/DDX] section and add:
    EnableRandR12=Sfalse.
  3. Type this into a terminal, sudo nano (or gedit) /etc/X11/xorg.conf, to open the xorg.conf file.
  4. Under the “Device” section add these options on separate lines:
    Option "EnableRandR12" "false"
    Option "DesktopSetup" "horizontal"
  5. Now just restart your computer and it should be good to go.

Compiz still not working…

Linux delete/reset old eth0 network card

leave a comment

rulesWhen you add a new network card in your linux box and remove the old one, the new card will be named eth1. If you want to change it back to eth0, you can edit the file “70-persistent-net.rules” to remove the old eth0 card line and also remove the new eth1 line:

vi /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

Then you just need to reboot and the file will be updated with the new network card as eth0.
