Hi,
I have an T43p (14" 1400x1050) with a ATI FireGl V3200 and I run Ubuntu 7.10.
I have been able to set it up as a dual-head without further ado with both
"ati" and "fgrlx" drivers. But using the "ati" driver (and xrandr) the
external output (VGA) is distinctly blurry. The resolution is detected / set
correctly via xrandr to 1680x1050 (Samsung 226BW) - yet the display is
distinctly blurry.
I don't think it is a hardware/signal problem because when I use the fglrx
driver the same external display is crisp - same story under Windows. Using
"fglrx" is though not really an option because I would need to activate the
"SWCursor"-option due to a bug with the proprietary driver - otherwise the
mouse cursor is all messed up (

I have tried forcing frequencies via xrandr - but I do not really know my
ways with xrandr/X11 - any ideas how to go about this? - Any help would be
much appreciated!
Best Regards,
Fredrik
