[Gutsy RC] Dual monitor not working with Thinkpad T42 (ATI Mobility Radeon 7500)

Bug Description

I had dual monitor support working the way I like it (separate desktops on each monitor) just fine in Feisty with the open source ati drivers.

I upgraded to Gutsy and it did not work. X.org did not like my xorg.conf file and it kept sticking me into low-resolution mode. After repeated attempts to modify my xorg.conf to support this behavior, I gave up and used a hack to use Feisty's xserver-xorg-ati instead, which works fine.

Hi I have the exact same problem I have tried everything, could you explain how did you manage to install the xserver-xorg-ati for Feysty in Gutsy?
