Dynamic Display and higher resolutions

[Avenger]

I'm having some issues with the dynamic display management implemented in the later fglrx drivers. I'm connecting my laptop to a LCD TV through a VGA cable and the TV is capable of a 1366x768 resolution.

Now, the problem is that when I plug in this display and use dynamic display to enable it: aticonfig --enable-monitor=crt1, which works, I'm not able to get a resolution higher than what my laptop's LVDS supports, so I'm stuck with 1024x768. XRandr only shows this resolution and lower ones when I run it.

I moved over the the new code-base when it came out, but xrandr 1.2 and the free drivers where able to get this to work perfectly. (However with a resolution of 1360x768, don't know why but it worked :P).

So, is there any way I can get this to work with the right resolutions?

I'm using a ATI Mobility Radeon x700.

can you please provide a copy of your xorg.conf file? and also, please try reading the gentoo wiki page about widescreen resolutions. (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Widescreen_Resolutions_%28WSXGA%29)

Sorry for the delayed response, but here's my xorg.conf.

The main point here though, is that I don't want to edit my xorg.conf and restart X whenever I change monitors, if possible.
