Please attach your xorg log and dmesg output. It looks like are using a generic driver like vesa or fbdev rather than the native radeon driver. Maybe radeon is still blacklisted from when you had fglrx installed. Created attachment 125719 [details]
Xorg log
I am not 100% sure about analysing this log, but i see radeon modules loaded and ati driver mentioned as 0

no blacklisting in modprobe $ pwd /etc/modprobe.d /etc/modprobe.d > bizmate@bizmate-i7 [php:5.6.17-phpbrew] $ grep radeon * blacklist-framebuffer.conf:blacklist radeonfb fbdev-blacklist.conf:blacklist radeonfb grep: fglrx-core.conf_BACKUP_DISABLED: No such file or directory The radeon driver isn't loaded. It looks like radeon is blacklisted from when you had fglrx installed. Stop X and see if you can manually load radeon (modprobe radeon). Also, please attach your dmesg output from a fresh boot. It doesn't contain any driver messages, just docker spam. sudo modprobe radeon [74355.098989] [drm:radeon_init [radeon]] *ERROR* no UMS support in radeon module! modprobe: ERROR coult not insert 'radeon': Invalid argument Do you have nomodeset or radeon.modeset=0 set in your grub config?

Dmesg.log
dmesg after reboot
There's the problem: [ 0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-34-generic root=UUID=315979a7-13a8-49cf-bd7a-616f29ad8c79 ro acpi=force nomodeset remove "nomodeset" from your grub config. that fixed it, also xrandr -q works now and sees the monitors i wonder why i had this enabled as apparently it is just an option to stop the kernel from loading drivers and such. Anyway thanks a lot and i am pretty sure xorg cant do much for this to detect such problems It may have been leftover from fglrx. |

after kernel upgrade i moved from fglrx to radeon on my HD 5770 as apparently old proprietary drivers are not supported anymore. ---kernel $ uname -a Linux bizmate-i7 4.4.0-34-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 27 16:06:39 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux --- As two screens are currenlty mirrored (instead of extending) and using a non optimal resolution I wanted to configure xorg.conf to force a better set up.

Also xrandr looks very buggy on my system. Any thoughts? Should i add more info?
