This happens to me as well. It started after I ran several recommended updates this Monday; most notably xorg and xserver-xorg from version 1:7.1.1ubuntu6 to 1:7.1.1ubuntu6.2. It happened during the upgrade in question, and since then, it has happened once shortly after each time I resume from hibernation. Logging out and in again solves the problem temporarily, until the next day when I resume. It seems to happen about 5 minutes after I resume (has happened three times so far). If I leave it running, without re-logging in, the screen shifts further to the left. I'm guessing it's about 50 pixels at a time. The mouse pointer is still using the "real" screen coordinates, so I have to click 50 or so pixels to the right of where I want.
I'm running the nVidia 8776 driver from the official repos, on a GeForce4 4200 Go graphics card in a Dell Latitude D800 with a widescreen 1680x1050 monitor. Taking a screenshot does not show the problem (the screenshots look normal), so I can't show exactly how it looks, unfortunately. -- Screen occasionally offset to the left https://launchpad.net/bugs/75214 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
