Hey, just for you to know, the aticonfig tool is broken. It never displays clock for me if more than one card is present.
...
Ummm... no, I really believe it's some user error on your part.
You REALLY want to supplement the
aticonfig --initial --adapter=all command with the
-f flag, otherwise aticonfig will only modify your current xorg.conf if it appears broken.
Naturally, adequate (root) privileges are required to modify the file.
This.
If you don't need "-f" includin it won't hurt. If you do need "-f" excluding it will cause all kinds of weird issues.
I always use:
aticonfig --adapter=all --initial -f
if not running as root use a sudo.
If using a USB drive a sync (or sudo sync if not running as root) is a good idea to make sure filesystem is up to date before rebooting.
Never had any aticonfig issue that a rebuild with --initial -f didn't fix.
