I've just upgraded one of my machines from Lubuntu 16.04 to Lubuntu

The video adapter is an Nvidia Geforce 6200, and the monitor is an Acer
K222HQL, attached via DVI. The monitor was correctly detected under
16.04, but I now find that the Monitor Settings dialog shows it as a
'Default Monitor'. This failure to detect the monitor occurs whether
I'm using the Nvidia binary driver or using the Nouveau driver. Any
idea if this is a know bug, or if there is anything I can do to fix it?

Ben:
This problem has affected me too.
At least two of the monitors in my test bed are now treated as default
monitors - including a fairly modern Samsung SyncMaster 2220 WM.
There is a complicated way, using a command-line interface, that allows
you to overcome this.
Unfortunately, as is typical of command-line interfaces, it requires you
to remember a lot of detailed information, and I have already forgotten
how to fix it, and can't find the e-mails from this list that enabled me
to work-around the problem.
It would be good if under "Preferences", the "Monitor Settings" tool,
would let you set the display to parameters you knew worked before
upgrading to the new system level, but it does not provide this.
I hope there is a good reason so much currently working hardware is
being abandoned by Linux.
On the other hand, if this abandonment is accidental (and some list was
accidentally left out), that the problem could possibly be corrected.
