[Bug 1486673] Re: Attempting to enable multi-screen mode via amdcccle (with screen 1 to the right of screen 2) causes X to crash severely, as soon as you hit "OK" or "Apply"

 

interesting is that i fix it ,when i accept fglrx-updates ,after i run
apt-get update in recovery console with read write mode with
networking,and more interesting is that i do not install fglrx-updates
,and even after log in i double check in  over menu in ubuntu in
software and updates or neither with package manager i do not have
fglrx-updates at all, and i do not use fglrx-updates.. i use fglrx
manually installed.. synaptic knows for sure.

sure i will not erase last and older version of kernel so fast ,as i
used to be spoiled due no problems for so long time..

well trick is obviously that even one step down to older kernel not help
in my case and lead me in wrong way ,seems 2 step down is right to
exactly that one which came with 15.04..so that's why when you overwrite
with re-install all works.

but i keep with newest,and seems all is not perfect as i keep getting
red triangle,not immediately but came after few hours..,but no package
is reported broken in package manager..now came again after update of
ubuntu base..

sure i will read all mentioned links..well about affected people is more
then two,as as soon i can go on internet i read solution for similar&
same symptoms,to go back to original kernel which is shipped with
15.04..just those not reported bug..

well it so easy to overwrite just  system partition,(and keep all
settings in all other partitions),and then reinstall additional
programs,seems and look more like update.. . life can be even more  easy
and good with ubuntu..but i am sorry for those who keep all on one
partition..well i have red triangle from time to time, but no package is
broken and all i try works...

sure i will now read all mentioned links,and links from there,thanks a
lot for that and respond.

Title:
  Attempting to enable multi-screen mode via amdcccle (with screen 1 to
  the right of screen 2) causes X to crash severely, as soon as you hit
  "OK" or "Apply"

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  This bug relates directly with
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1479913
  (caused by the recent 3.19.0-26 kernel roll-out).

  I have implemented  the fix, by enabling the "Proposed" repository and
  also switching to "fglrx updates" but this only worsened the problem
  as this has caused an issue whereby my system hangs, solid, right at
  the login screen, when I boot into 3.19.0-26.

  When I boot into an earlier kernel build, the problem is not present,
  but no matter what I try doing; ie. uninstalling flgrx; using xserver-
  xorg-video-ati; reinstalling fglrx; reinstalling the new kernel;
  reinstalling xorg; changing the screen configuration; changing and
  removing monitors and their configuration; the system still hangs on
  booting into 3.19.0-26.

  I have noticed that when I boot into a working kernel however; the
  login screen seems to still have my old monitor configuration ie. with
  screen 1 to the right of screen 2, even if, upon logging in, the
  monitors are configured differently.

  I have reported this under the above summary because at least one
  other user has reported this same behavior
  (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-
  installer/+bug/1479913/comments/51) and I believe that this has the
  same root cause as my problem.

  As to why the login screen keeps defaulting to my old configuration, I
  do not know (perhaps a problem with lightdm, or somthing), but the
  only option that seems left open to me at the moment is a full
  reinstall, which I would really like to avoid at the moment; at least
  until Wily comes out.

  Sorry to be so long winded, but this seems to be quite a serious issue
  and I would like it to be resolved.

  Thank you,
  Rich
