** Description changed: + Impact: + - screen connected to cards using the fglrx driver might get labelled as "Laptop" when they are external screens + + Test Case: + - run the system settings display panel on a machine using the fglrx driver, where the output listed in Xorg.0.log is classified as a DFP one, with an external screen + + With the precise version the display is labelled "Laptop" incorrectly, + the update should fix that + + Regression potential: + - fglrx users should check that suspend on lid close still behave the same way, the display type can have an impact on the suspend behaviour (that patch is not supposed to lead to any change there but that's something to double check) + + --- + Today after installing the fglrx drivers on my Radeon 6950 cayman card, in the "Displays" options, in order to get dual monitors to work I had to first go into amdcccle and enable it there, restart the computer, and THEN enable it in the displays setting. Also, both monitors are showing up as "laptop". When using the radeon drivers each monitor is picked up as "Acer blah blah", but with the propriatary drivers they both say "laptop" and there is no visual color difference to indicate differences between the two. It would be nice if we could Unify the "displays" menu to where it will enable dual monitors in amdccle when that option is selected or visa versa. It would also be nice to see the two monitors registering as their proper names and differentiation.
