I just upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 today. I noticed that in display settings it recognizes my system as laptop and I am actually running a desktop with a viewsonic monitor. How can I fix this?

This is a bug. You can confirm that your computer is not really being identified as a laptop by running:

sudo laptop-detect -v

To help get this fixed, I suggest you update the bug report with further details, or log into Launchpad and register the fact that the bug also affects you:
