I was wondering if anybody here could help me with my xorg.conf
When I went from a precise to quantal install (with a later catalyst version) my xorg.conf I had used previously caused tearing in xbmc. So I created the new xorg.conf with the usual sudo aticonfig --initial -f and sudo aticonfig --sync-vsync=on. This solved the tearing problem but now if I switch my monitor off either from the mains or on the switch on the front or it times out from the xbmc screensaver than I never recover it (screen remains black). I have to ctl alt F1 and kill xbmc then ctl alt F7. Currently using only screendim from within xbmc but often use the desktop as well. If i switch off monitor whilst in the desktop then turn back on it is somehow half the resolution but screen size is the same (in other words some of the open windows are now half off the screen)
My current setup is with Lubuntu quantal minimal install, wsnipex/xbmc-xvba-frodo, ATI HD6450.
My monitor is connected with the DVI output. My receiver is connected to the HDMI output.
Apart from the black screen/resolution problem after turning off the monitor my current xorg.conf works.
I have tried various alterations which either result in tearing or no sound.
Ideally I want the gpu doing as little work as possible so want to avoid sending a picture via the hdmi, just sound. Any help would be appreciated.
