Dear X strike force,

Here is a bug that I first reported on GNOME:

I have a Sony VGC-LT71DB - a kind of iMac clone that looks like the offspring
of a television and an aquarium - and xrandr thinks that I have two screens
plugged. As a result, window managers such as GNOME and XFCE use a mixture of
two screen sizes, which results in having some service bars annoyingly far from
the edges of the physical screen.

Here are my ouptuts of xrandr and lspci:
