looks like ubuntu is carrying some strange patches which I suspect are to blame. Can you try with ati git master? Also, if you don't want to use LVDS, turn it off: xrandr --output LVDS --off Alex, I tried the latest source code from the git tree and it doesn't help. $ ls -l /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ati_drv.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 51944 2008-01-22 13:38 /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//ati_drv.so $ xrandr -q xrandr: Output LVDS is not disconnected but has no modes $ xrandr --output LVDS --off xrandr: Output LVDS is not disconnected but has no modes $ xrandr -q xrandr: Output LVDS is not disconnected but has no modes Bryan (In reply to comment #2) > Alex, > > I tried the latest source code from the git tree and it doesn't help.

I found that if I modified xrandr.c and replaced the following line with a return statement, I could use xrandr to configure a dual-head display:
fatal ("Output %s is not disconnected but has no modes\n",
output_info->name);
However, if I run xrandr outright it segfaults:
$ xrandr -q

Created attachment 13780 [details] Log file from running X on the N610c I have a Compaq Evo Notebook N610c hooked up to a docking station that I'd like to use dual-head on, but I'm only able to do dual-head in a clone mode since xrandr commands aren't working. I've tried using xrandr to disable one of the monitors and then reenable it at the new location with these commands: xrandr --output DVI-0 --off xrandr --output DVI-0 --right-of VGA-0 --mode 1280x1024 However, xrandr doesn't seem to do anything except display this error when I run it (even with -q): xrandr: Output LVDS is not disconnected but has no modes Here's what my xorg.conf file looks like: Section "Files" EndSection Section "Module" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500]" Driver "ati" Busid "PCI:1:0:0" Option "monitor-DVI-0" "HP LP2065" Option "monitor-VGA-0" "HP 1825" Option "monitor-LVDS" "Built-in display" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "HP 1825" Option "DPMS" HorizSync 30-82 VertRefresh 56-76 EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "HP LP2065" Option "DPMS" HorizSync 30-92 VertRefresh 48-85 EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Built-in display" Option "DPMS" HorizSync 60-76 VertRefresh 50-65 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500]" Monitor "HP LP2065" Defaultdepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" Virtual 2560 1024 EndSubSection EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Default Screen" EndSection I've tried adding 'Option "Ignore" "True"' to the Built-in display monitor section, but then X refuses to start at all.
