Comment 4 for bug 187967

I installed http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11689116/xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.7.197%2Bgit20080201.bcd59010-0ubuntu0tormod%7Egutsy_i386.deb for testing and the situation is at least "changed"

My internal display is 1024x768. This has never been a problem. I also have an external display (TFT with 1680x1050 native resolution), working fine as dual-head with the feisty driver. After installing above package and restarting X, I get a 1024x768 clone display. "System - Preference - Screen resolution" still does not show anything else, but I am told this applet is still a work in progress, some might even say outright broken (did work fine for me with the feisty driver!).

xine does display video fine now on the internal display but the problem remains on the external display (both are shown at the same time). Maybe this has to do with the external display not being driven at its native resolution.
