[Bug 550486] Re: Monitor preferences doesn't identify HDMI monitor correctly.

[Ken Seehart]

Happens to me also.  This makes it impossible for me to use my external
monitor.

I am assuming that this is the same bug because I get the original
symptom: my LG246WP identifies as a Goldstar Ltd. 24" screen, with an
incorrect list of resolutions.

I am able to use 1024x768 (and certain other 4:3 resolutions) for a
minute or so, then the monitor fails with "Invalid Format" message.
Other resolutions fail immediately.

Incidentally, is there a work-around for this?  Presumably there should
be a way to configure this manually without being dependent on correct
auto-detection, but I don't know how to do this.
