Hi,

I have a Thinkpad X24 with the ATI Radeon M6 LY chip.  When I upgraded from
feisty to gutsy the external, secondary monitor stopped working.  This has been
reported as
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/162136

The situation has changed over time but the regression has still not been fixed
100%

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/feisty/i386/xserver-xorg-video-ati/1:6.6.3-2ubuntu6
* everything was working fine, external resolution of 1680x1050

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/i386/xserver-xorg-video-ati/1:6.7.195-1ubuntu2
* 2nd monitor completely broken, clone mode

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11689116/xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.7.197%2Bgit20080201.bcd59010-0ubuntu0tormod%7Egutsy_i386.deb
* with this inofficial, bleeding-edge package, xrandr is back to reporting 
  1280x1024 resolution for the external monitor which is better than nothing
  but still not the truth

I am sorry, I can not provide an Xorg.0.log for the last deb. My mistake.

Regards

Rolf
