Second monitor stuck sideways in 14.04.1 Unity
Tried fixing this through System Settings > Displays
But the only options available for the Rotation option are “Counterclockwise” and “Clockwise.” No “Normal” option is available.
This second monitor is a SHARP X Flat TV.
The Displays setting utility names this second monitor as “Unknown Display.”
Clicking the “Detect Displays” button in the Displays setting utility changes nothing.
The signal for this second monitor is routed through a home theater receiver/amp before it reaches the TV.
The first monitor is a TOSHIBA TV/VGA Monitor thing and the Display settings utility names it specifically and correctly.
The computer is an HP Media Center PC m7250n desktop – dual boot Windows XP and Ubuntu 14.04.1. (Of course the dual monitor setup works perfectly in Windows XP.)
The video output is via a PCI video card.
So here is my lspci output:

02:05.0 Communication controller: LSI Corporation 56k WinModem (rev 01)

So, is there a way to get my second monitor normalized?
[P.S. Why did the Ubuntu folk design the second monitor function to output sideways only for unknown monitors? Like, wouldn't “Normal” have been a better default for that? Geeeeez.]
