1 Good for all list, have a nice day...
2 1.- Johannes I remember, you tried with xorgcfg or xorgconfig?... I don't
3 remember if you test with Xorg -configure, if you don't then try..
4
5 jejejeje... excuse me.. but I can't sleep without solve that problem :D
6 (it's a joke), but really after you try with that do aticonfig --initial,
7 because, if I am not wrong, the problem is because aticonfig can't find a
8 "legal" xorg.conf, well with the below commands you can generate a "legal"
9 xorg.conf and will modify with aticonfig...

11 2.- Remy have you some problem with your configuration or it's only to know?
12
13 Note: Please excuse for my english, I am still learning.

15 Thanks for your answers :D
