Default Post dual monitor faq, AGP speed and screensaver questions

Hi!

I just got my X800XL working in Ubuntu Feisty. Apart from AA performance in Blender it's really nice.

There is a nice guide on how to get two monitors running: link

Here is a fglrx manual. man fglrx doesn't work for me.

Here's part of my working xorg.conf. It enables Bigdesktop:
Code:
Section "Monitor"
	Identifier	"Monitor1"
	VendorName	"Generic"

	Option		"DPMS"		"true"
EndSection

	Driver      "fglrx"
	BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
	Screen      1
EndSection

Section "Screen"

EndSection

Section "DRI"
	Mode	0666
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
	Option      	"Composite"	"0"
EndSection
In the CCC AGP speed is 0. Should I worry about that?


The built in 3d screen savers are very slow (for example Hufo's Tunnel). Can I do something about this?


Regards,
Sladi
