    AMD's Catalyst driver is compatible with the xrandr command, you can use this command.

    You can use "xrandr --help" and any search engine for help. Recently I didn't use this command recently, so I forgot the correct syntax.

    But isn't it possible to use the AMD control center for this, it would be probably a bit easier than xrandr?

    open the Catalyst Control Center as root. The settings you want to change should be below display manager -> several displays (maybe it's called a little bit different, for me it displays everything in German language).

    hm maybe. Did you start the Catalyst Control Center as Admin otherwise it will be grey. If it doesn't work you can try if xrandr detects the monitors correctly. Just enter xrandr in terminal and you will see a output.

    maybe you will see any error message if you run amdcccle from terminal:
    Code:
    su
    amdcccle
    if it doesn't change anything, you can try to configure it with the xrandr command.
