Binary package hint: xorg

Screen is concaved after updating Xubuntu to 9.10 and I can't even enlarge text in this window, so it is impossible to read commands or addresses correctly. i can hardly see what am typing now so it's probably full of errprs and misspellings

Would you be able to attach a photograph of the screen, so we can more easily see what the problem is?

Hi hynek,

This bug was reported against an earlier version of Ubuntu, can you
