Display is corrupt

[kelargo]

Binary package hint: xorg

I recently install natty on this one machine and a few days ago the Display became corrupt.
after a few days of ssh'ing to it and performing apt-get update/ apt-get upgrade.. the display remains corrupt.
so, I figure best to report this.

attaching a photo pic of the corrupt display.
the video is out of sync.
it use to be in sync.. when it ran 10.10.

I'm not sure how you managed to get your system set up with both -nvidia and xserver 1.9.99, but that's totally incompatible. -nvidia does not yet have xserver 1.10 support.
