FGLRX single display

It dawned on me, some of you may want fglrx with just the laptop display, so here's the xorg.config for that!

Suspend and Hibernate with FGLRX

Well an easy enough method to get this all working, just open terminal and type

sudo gedit /etc/default/acpi-support

Find this:

SAVE_VBE_STATE=true

And make it this:

SAVE_VBE_STATE=false

Restart your computer and you should have your FGLRX working.

FGLRX "Pair mode" on the T42

As you may or may not know the drivers I was using were god awfully slow. Today i decided to improve my speed with the fglrx drivers by ati. My goal was to keep the same functionality as before with the improved speed. I got it all working, and damn I'm happy! Now my IBM Thinkpad T42 splitscreens between the internal display and the external display and uses the much quicker fglrx driver to do so. Note-- this is different from the crappy BigDesktop mode by ati because it allows you to drag windows across from one to the other. Well this is the xorg.config that I use now it's heavily modded from some other's I found around Google. The suspend/hibrenate don't work but I'm on my way to figuring that one out.
