Bug Description
During the install I get asked for the resolution to use similar to this problem:
https:/
However, it does include the proper resolution (1680x1050) in the list.
The problem is that even after selecting this, X fails to start properly. It
has to do with X mis-detecting which is the primary display and which is the
secondary display. Typically adding the following lines to the xorg fix it:
Option "CRT2Position" "clone"
Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS,CRT"
I actually think that only the last line is necessary, but am unsure. If I
install the fglrx packages and then use fglrxconfig to build the xorg.conf then
it works fine as well.
