Wrong monitor name for 26" ET2639L Elo TouchSystems Touchmonitor

[Fabián Rodríguez]

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

The monitor name for this display comes up as a single special character in gnome-display-properties. This monitor is made by Tyco Electronics, which may be part of its full name.

When launched from command line, the following errors are visible:

(gnome-display-properties:8912): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to set text from markup due to error parsing markup: Error on line 1 char 32: Invalid UTF-8 encoded text in name - not valid '\u0018\u0013\xab Electronics 26"'

(gnome-display-properties:8912): Pango-WARNING **: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text()

I've attache a scree capture of the result.

It seems the name reported changes everytime, but still is garbled.

Could you add your Xorg.0.log to the bug?
