The X login screen breaks up in Xubuntu 10.04.3 LTS, after i have upgraded my kernel.
kernel 2.6.32-33-generic worked fine, 2.6.32-34-generic garbled the login screen: No buttons, only the login screen background and panel below, copies of the mouse cursor and some garbage. No text.
I *can* log in by guessing what happens in the screen (no text shown...) - the Xubuntu desktop opens, with background and the panels, but most of the panel widgets are "missing" and I must only guess what should be on screen: something should appear, but nothing can be seen. The terminals (Ctrl+F1...F6) works nicely though.
Possibly affected packages (my guess): linux, xorg, gdm, xfwm4
Temporary fix: By choosing kernel 2.6.32-33 in boot time
Can be reproductable: By choosing kernel 2.6.32-34 in boot time
What changed:
(here is a part of the diff against the new(<) and old(>) version):
(most suspectable diff parts, selected from /var/log: dmesg, messages, debug, daemon.log, syslog, kern.log):

So it looks like, the (currently running) old kernel 2.6.32-33 didn't allocate GART. My best guess is that GART thing was somewhat enabled in new kernel update. It haven't been enabled before, with Xubuntu 10.4 installed, according to previous logs.
And yet, it could be something with my Nvidia RIVA TNT2 graphics card and nouveau kernel driver..?
I'm pretty sure it is the kernel package that causes this problem. I can try uploading /var/log/apt/history.log if needed for more suspects.

SRU Justification
Impact: A regression in the 2.6.32-34 kernel is causing graphics corruption on the Asus A7V-E with nvidia graphics.
Fix: Backport of upstream bug fix for range-restricted allocations in DRM.
Test case: Verified to fix corruption by reporter on LP #873130.
