- With black screen problems after installing the drivers from Radeon.
- Dragging windows to different display problems when installing drivers from Radeon. I don't know enough on how to fix this, if someone does please let me know as I would love to use the latest drivers from Radeon.
So my fix for all of this was to use the smxi tool. What a superb set of scripts!! Really saved me days of messing about. Just take a look at the documentation on the site, it's quite straight forward and it guides you through everything nicely.
You can also use this tool for a few other things apart from setting up your graphics card. I used it for that mainly.
When it came down to the options you could select the latest or previous versions from AMD, or select the Debian fglrx.
I tried the latest from AMD and got so far with that. It definitely stopped my black screen on startup but then I had a dragging window problem between monitors :-( which I don't know how to fix yet.
I just stuck with the debian fglrx install and that worked superbly. I just had to run amdcccle afterwards to just configure the monitor sizes correctly and also set the overscan on my second monitor so it removed the black border.
And that was it!
Hope this helps someone else.
