Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

After the latest kernel upgrade and reboot, the display on my Toshiba Libretto U105 is slightly incorrect. I had not rebooted after the previous xserver-xorg-video-intel upgrade so I am tempted to blame that rather than the recent kernel or libc6 upgrades, but I don't really have a good clue of where to look.

The top Gnome menu bar is slightly pushed down -- approximately 8 pixels -- by what looks like the missing parts of the bottom menu bar, slightly distorted. I will attach some images to show this. For example, where there are buttons in the window chooser in the bottom menu bar, there are stripes of alternating menu-bar grey and dark (black? dark grey?) at the top of the screen, above the Applications - Places - System menus.

This is a fairly small display (7 or 8 inches?) running at 1280x867 on a fairly basic Intrepid install (not upgraded from any earlier release). The system is a Toshiba Libretto U105 subnotebook. To the extent that I grok xorg.log, it looks like I am running the "intel" driver. There's a bunch of underrun error messages in xorg.log but I don't know if they were there before these problems began.

I tried to run "ubuntu-bug -p xserver-xorg-video-intel" but it failed with "Cannot open display ":0 -"", "Exiting".
