Through a process of disk snapshotting, apt-mark holding certain
packages, and bisecting the dist-upgrade, I've narrowed it down to one
of the following packages.  I'm unable to narrow it down any further.
This is the output of `apt-get dist-upgrade --dry-run`

The following packages will be upgraded:
  xserver-common xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg-video-ati
  xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
  xserver-xorg-video-radeon xserver-xorg-video-vmware xvfb

The other bit of information I can give is that if I apt-mark unhold all
of these except xserver-xorg-video-vmware, when I reboot I get a "low
graphics" warning and get dumped into a text console.  If I unhold them
all, I get the screen occlusion as described above.

Title:
  Resolution is incorrect; screen mostly occluded

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have a 3440x1440 monitor and after today's full dist-upgrade, most
  of the screen real-estate is unusable.  I see a small rectangular
  patch in the lower left corner, and on this patch I can right-button
  to bring up the menu.  While the rest of the screen will display the
  cursor, it is neither the correct background color (nor can it be set
  to the right color; it's just black), and the rest of the screen will
  not respond to mouse clicks at all.
