Bug Description

I'm testing 12.04 64-bit, with all the latest updates. When I open Displays settings on my desktop computer, bot of my displays (monitor and projector) are identified as "Laptop". Same thing happens wint AMD Catalyst drivers, and with open-source drivers (the card is Radeon 7950 and isn't actually supported by OSS drivers yet). On 11.10 they are correctly identified as Dell monitor and Acer projector.

Thank you for your bug report. Is that a macbook or similar config? Could you add /var/log/Xorg.0.log to the bug?

The computer is standard PC desktop (i5-2500K, 8GB RAM, Radeon 7950), not a macbook. That's why it's strange that it displays "Laptop". I attached Xorg.0.log, as requested.
