Title:
"Displays" is registering dual monitors as "laptop" when using fglrx
Status in GNOME Desktop Common Files:
Fix Released
Status in “gnome-desktop3” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “gnome-desktop3” source package in Precise:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Impact:
- screen connected to cards using the fglrx driver might get labelled as
"Laptop" when they are external screens
Test Case:
- run the system settings display panel on a machine using the fglrx driver,
where the output listed in Xorg.0.log is classified as a DFP one, with an
external screen
With the precise version the display is labelled "Laptop" incorrectly,
the update should fix that
Regression potential:
- fglrx users should check that suspend on lid close still behave the same
way, the display type can have an impact on the suspend behaviour (that patch
is not supposed to lead to any change there but that's something to double
check)

Today after installing the fglrx drivers on my Radeon 6950 cayman
card, in the "Displays" options, in order to get dual monitors to work
I had to first go into amdcccle and enable it there, restart the
computer, and THEN enable it in the displays setting. Also, both
monitors are showing up as "laptop". When using the radeon drivers
each monitor is picked up as "Acer blah blah", but with the
propriatary drivers they both say "laptop" and there is no visual
color difference to indicate differences between the two.
It would be nice if we could Unify the "displays" menu to where it
will enable dual monitors in amdccle when that option is selected or
visa versa.
It would also be nice to see the two monitors registering as their
proper names and differentiation.
