[Bug 883710] [NEW] Ubuntu 11.10, display settings lost

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

OS - Oneiric (fully updated)
Hardware - Gigabyte-X58A-UD3R, CPU Core i7 980X Extreme, RAM 12GB, Graphics AMD/ATI HD6990 4GB, Disk SATA 2x500GB, 1x60GB OCZ SSD, Display Eyefinity 3 x Dell 27", Mouse/Keyboard standard (wireless)

System works fine with Ubuntu 10.04 (Natty) 2D, Windows7 (full 3D
acceleration), Natty able to setup Multi-display with via AMD Catalyst
Control center, save settings and reboot with changes preserved.

Oneriric - System boots in cloned display mode, configuring displays
with AMD Catalyst Control Center (Administrator) sets displays properly,
however after reboot (or logout) defaults back to cloned configuration.
Ran configuration as super user:

sudo amdcccle

Made all required display changes, xorg.conf appears to be updated
properly, however on logout or reboot defaults back to cloned display.
Display driver will occasionally identify order of displays incorrectly,
e.g. L - R 213 (instead of 123). After configuring in this mode and
using the system for a while OS blanks out all screens and returns set
back to cloned mode with correct order 123. After running amdcccle and
configuring displays again it continues to run okay, however as usual no
settings are retained at next logout or power up.

Note: System runs stable without any problems in Win7
