Problems with Monitor

I have Crunchbang installed on this little nice laptop of mine and I use a external monitor to view stuff on the laptop, problem is that Crunchbang doesn't seem to detect the monitor. I'm coming from Xubuntu here, in which the monitor worked.

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Problems with Monitor

Doing a search for dual monitors from the upper right hand search bar (on every page) yields this which includes 6 (SOLVED) hits on the first page.

Re: Problems with Monitor

As I stated, I'm trying to use a external monitor on my laptop which has Crunchbang  installed, the problem is that Crunchbang doesn't see my monitor in grandr, and I have no idea as to why, or how I could go about fixiing it.

It's a AMD Vision card as far as I can tell.

Re: Problems with Monitor

In a terminal, with the external monitor connected, what does `xrandr` show?

Re: Problems with Monitor

Hmmm...so obviously even xrandr can't see your external.

Anybody know if the Vision APUs need the fglrx package?
