Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
I installed the Xubuntu Lucid alpha-1 on this Averatec 3280, then was able to update it with apt-get up through today. With the kernel shown below, the login screen appears shifted over 1/2 the screen width, so the X-axis origin is in the middle of the screen. On first booting, a popup appears saying "Xfce power manager" and "HAL daemon is not running". When I click on the Close button, I can log in (The login screen appears at the side of the screen, wrapping around from the right side to the left side of the screen.
Once I log in, the normal Xfce screen does not appear (it did when I first installed, before updating, but with 1600x1200 resolution, which does not work on this 1024x768 panel). Instead, a small text window appears on the upper-left of the logical screen (in this case, it's located to the right of the center of the screen).

This is somewhat similar to bug #495553 running ubuntu lucid alpha-1 on the same system, but the final effect on the display is different. Here I can't get a regular xfce display to appear, whereas under gnome ubuntu I could, but with the screen offset. Also the initial popup regarding the HAL daemon does not appear for the Gnome version of ubuntu.
As with bug #495553, when I try to switch to a tty with ctl-alt-F1 through F6, I get a black screen, but can switch back with alt-F7 normally.
I'm attaching an apport bug report file from this system.
The behavior is different with an earlier kernel - I'll append information about that later.

Running the 2.6.32-7-generic #10-Ubuntu SMP kernel instead, the symptoms are the same except that the screen is NOT offset . The tiny text window appears on the actual upper-left of the screen, with the rest of the screen filled with the normal Xfce blue screen background image.
Again, trying to switch to a tty with ctrl-alt-F1 through F6 results in a useless screen, with a multicolored background; switching back to the X display works with alt-F7.
