After boot to desktop, there will be an "Unknown" display work as an extended display on this system with 12.04.5

1. Install 12.04.5, boot to desktop with no external monitor connected
2. Open the "Display" utility, check whether there is an "Unknown" display
Expected result:
* There should be only a "Laptop" display
Actual result:
* An "Unknown" display available
