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.
