Hi, David. I've had similar issues to you before and i'd suggest you
install the proprietary drivers (fglrx) (it automatically blacklists
the radeon driver to avoid conflicts) and then do the following
command (sudo aticonfig --initial) before you restart, because this
command will generate a fresh xorg.conf file which will make the fglrx
module responsible for the screen. If that works, you can then edit
the xorg.conf and change the resolution to something higher etc At any
rate, it should list available resolutions.
I hope this works for you if you haven't solved your problem already :)
4. Install the driver with
sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle
5. Generate a fresh xorg.conf BEFORE REBOOTING!
sudo aticonfig --initial
Thanks for the info, A. I tried what you suggested and it worked.
Although I now have a logo on the bottom right of the screen which says
"AMD Unsupported hardware" which I would like to get rid of.
On the plus side, I can attach my HD TV and use that at its full
resolution and have my smaller monitor at a suitable resolution for it.
I also found that I could not run the AMD Catalyst Control Center as
root from the menu, I had to do it from CLI:
sudo amdcccle
At least it all works now and when I upgrade my monitor to the same size
as my TV I will use both at 1920 x 1080.
