Public bug reported:
My laptop has a mini-DisplayPort and an HDMI port to which I can connect
external monitors. When I plug it in into the HDMI port, it is properly
recognised but when I plug it into the mini-DisplayPort, Unity fails to
recognise the display. This used to work in 12.10.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Plug in the external display to the HDMI port via an HDMI adapter: the Unity
display extends to the second monitor
2. Plug the same display to the mini-DisplayPort adapter: the screen stay blank
3. Open System Settings -> Displays: the external monitor is no detected.
