Public bug reported:
I just installed 12.04, and I have one problem that I didn't have with
10.04. The 1080p TV I have plugged into the video card (via a DVI-to-
HDMI cable) isn't being detected correctly and the maximum size is
1280x768. xrandr says "xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output
default. Screen 0: minimum 320 x 175, current 1280 x 768, maximum 1280 x
768". The video card is a GeForce 8600 GT. gnome-control-center -->
Displays does not tell me the make and model of the monitor; it just
says "laptop," which is incorrect.

3) What you expected to happen
I expected my monitor to be correctly identified and allowed to set my
resolution to 1920x1080
4) What happened instead
The maximum resolution is 1280x768. The monitor is not identified.
