AGPSize did not help me, nor turning off all effects. Video card worked well with 9.04. Fresh install of 9.10 resulted in a max resolution of 1152x864 - should instead be 1280x1024. Card info:

03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)]
03:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 [Radeon X300SE]

Downgrading drivers worked.

Wallpaper and everything was always visible, just had wrong resolution.
