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

1 – Compile and install driver:
Source: http://wiki.cchtml.com/
[cci lang="bash"]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[/cci]

2 – Generate xorg.conf:
[cci lang="bash"]sudo aticonfig –initial=dual-head –screen-layout=right

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

sudo aticonfig –xinerama=on[/cci]

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:
   [cci lang="bash"]EnableRandR12=Sfalse.[/cci]
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:
   [cci lang="bash"]Option “EnableRandR12″ “false”
   Option “DesktopSetup” “horizontal”[/cci]
5. Now just restart your computer and it should be good to go.

Compiz still not working…
