Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
I routinely connect my laptop to an external monitor - an IBM 20"
display connected via VGA.
In earlier Ubuntu releases this worked fine, with the two monitors
showing up as 'Laptop' and 'IBM 20"' (IIRC) in the gnome-display-
properties window. In Karmic and Lucid, however, functionality is still
fine, but the label on the external monitor is usually filled with
garbage characters. Exactly what shows up varies, but it is usually a
handful of unicode characters without proper glyphs, followed by '20"'.
I'm not sure where to start gathering debug information on this one. It
is entirely reproducible on my setup, however, so if pointed at the
right tools I can easily gather whatever information would be useful.
