Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
Display worked fine in Intrepid. Upgrade to Jaunty has resulted in 1" of blank screen either side of display area and "Extra" visual effects, which were working in Intrepid, are no longer available. Have tried various proposed solutions: see thread http://
When booting up from cold screen area is divided into four quarters. Can only be reverted back to single area through resetting the screen resolution (to 1024x768, which is what it already is).

@ReedMace, if you boot the live CD does the black "1 stripes show up there as well?
You can optionally run this command to reset your xorg.conf configuration:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
(there is a chance this will fix your issue, but it's not certain)
Also, the reason why you can't use 3D effects right now is another bug. The ubuntu team is working very hard on fixing that bug so 3D can be enabled again on intel 965 machines (what you have). Hopefully an update will be provided that makes it possible to turn on 3D again. If you want you can enable it anyway by passing a SKIP_CHECKS variable to compiz on startup but if you use 3D before the actual bug is fixed your computer might hang randomly (which is the reason why we temporarily disabled 3D for your particular graphics card).
