URandR now works with the ATI driver – Testers needed

I have tested URandR on my old laptop (also known as “the hair dryer”, for obvious reasons 😛 ) which has a rather old ATI card.

If you own an ATI card which works with the open source driver (“ati”) and your OS is Ubuntu Gutsy, I would be glad if you could test URandR and post the results.

You can get it here.

NOTE: make sure you read the “Known Problems” section before you try URandR

    Does the crash happen only when you invert the screen?

    Can you try to change the resolution or to plug in an external monitor or TV?

  3. Resolution changes work, external vga works, this tool is great!
    The UI threading is not quite what it could be. It takes a long time until the window apears (8 sec?) and it is blocked during the apply action. Better have some kind of infinite progress bar and disabling buttons?

  5. Ok, I can use threading and implement an “automatic revert” with a countdown (e.g. a popup which says: “your previous configuration will be restored in 15 seconds unless you click on OK”).

    I’ll do it after Envy 0.9.8 is released.

    Thanks for your feedback.

  6. Hei, Can you make this work in kubuntu also? The issue is that you are calling gksudo on line 3, which obviously does not work in a kde environment. kdesu is the equivalent. Here is a copy of the error in teerminal: /usr/bin/urandr: line 3: gksudo: command not found

    Hope this helps

    Thanks a million.

  10. Thank you. I tried your urandr with my Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000].

    At the first time I can use Multi-Head with Laptop-LCD an external LCD. Also he accepted diffent Resolution for both.

    I mising support for TV (SVGA) – [dont no how?] and “nice to have” permanetly setting 😉 Again – Thank you

    PS: I searched for you tool Envy New. But this dose’nt work. The ATI-Driver can’t support my OS? (Gutsy Gibbon)

  11. Hi,

    I hope you read this. This post is not about the ATI driver support since I have a intel card 😉 But I have something else to ask you: will there be profiles? so that you can select some options and save them as “beamer” for example and some different options, which you then save as “desktop”. now when you want to switch you just have to select the profile and not every option. it would also be nice to have a tray icon for that 😀
    that would really make it a killer app 🙂
