fglrx does not detect/support 1152x864 in Ubuntu 10.10

[jer]

Binary package hint: fglrx

I just fresh installed fglrx via the additional drivers application (jockey) and for some reason, after installing it, the driver does not detect and support 1152x864.

Back in 10.04, the driver supports that resolution.

I would like to add that the driver doesn't even detect the name of this monitor. This was also the case in 10.04 but at least it was able to detect it's max resolution which was 1152x864.

Sorry if it's already not part of the report but I will also report slowdowns when I enable visual effects

I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat

Hey jer,

Hi, have you had a chance to test if this bug is still present in natty?

If it does (and if you're the original reporter), please boot into natty
and run the command:

  apport-collect <bug-number>

which will update the bug with fresh logs and tag the bug as affecting
natty. (It is best to run this right after reproducing the problem.)

[bugbot (bugbot)]

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.
