[15:55] <Ziku> Hello, i have problem with dual monitors configuration at ubuntu studio 11.04 - configuration tool don't save changes (i'm trying to change default monitor) - could anyone help me with this?
[16:00] <holstein> Ziku: maybe
[16:00] <holstein> is this nvidia hardware?
[16:01] <Ziku> nope, ATI Radeon HD 4650 - i'm using ATI driver though had the same problem since I've installed ubuntu studio for first time (it's my second OS)
[16:02] <holstein> Ziku: whats the first OS
[16:02] <holstein> windows?
[16:02] <Ziku> yes, Win7 pro 64bit
[16:02] <holstein> are you using the proprietary driver?
[16:03] <Ziku> i've downloaded driver from ATI website
[16:03] <holstein> OK
[16:03] <holstein> thats what im using with my nvidia dual head rig
[16:03] <holstein> the proprietary driver*
[16:03] <holstein> Ziku: you might need to make a custom xorg.conf
[16:04] <holstein> Ziku: the deal is, ubuntustudio = ubuntu
[16:04] <Ziku> I was reading about it, but I don't have such file in X11 at all
[16:04] <holstein> SO, when you are searching, dont search ubuntustudio
[16:04] <holstein> just search, ubuntu whatever ATI card dual head
[16:05] <holstein> Ziku: if you put an xorg.conf in place, it'll be used
[16:05] <Ziku> yeah, I was searching for ubuntu, but you see, i'm not too familiar with console stuff so maybe I've missed something
[16:05] <holstein> you can make, and put an xorg in place without the console
[16:06] <holstein> sudo gedit
[16:06] <holstein> gksudo gedit
[16:06] <holstein> ^ gksudo is prefered
[16:06] <Ziku> what's difference?
[16:06] <holstein> you can start this by using alt+F2
[16:06] <holstein> and typing gksudo gedit
[16:07] <holstein> Ziku: not much difference these days, but it used to be starting a graphical app without gksudo would be bad
[16:07] <holstein> !gksudo
[16:07] <holstein> anyways, its going to be challening Ziku
[16:07] <holstein> since, ubuntu doesnt make that driver, nor are they allowed to support it
[16:08] <Ziku> hmm.. ok, i've created file xorg.conf in etc/X11, still it's empty as I don't know what to put in it ;P
[16:08] <Ziku> yeah, but I had the same problem with default ubuntu driver
[16:08] <holstein> sure, and i dont either
[16:08] <holstein> since i dont have your hardware
[16:08] <holstein> but, i have used live CD's in the past
[16:08] <holstein> knoppix for example
[16:09] <holstein> and, you can try the configure command
[16:09] <holstein> *which i forget right now
[16:09] <Ziku> ok
[16:09] <holstein> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config
[16:09] <holstein> sudo Xorg -configure
[16:10] <Ziku> thank you
[16:10] <holstein> you'll still need to poke around though and sort out how to add the 2nd display i think
[16:10] <Ziku> surely I will :) but at least now I know where to start
[16:10] <holstein> Ziku: i gotta run, but, try that, and also, try something like #ubuntu-beginners
[16:10] <holstein> somewhere relatively slow-ish, but active
[16:10] <Ziku> okay, thanks again
[16:11] <holstein> maybe someone in your loco team even
