Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 10.10

I Printed Screen to show what I'm talking about while the problem is
ongoing. But, I opened the picture and it looked normal instead even
while the problem was ongoing. Whenever I boot up the computer it is
like this or after I fix it and then the screen saver starts it reverts
back to the problem. The power management does not cause this problem.
The problem was there from the start: during the installation. I can fix
it temporarily by applying a different resolution and then reverting
back to the resolution without saving the new applied resolution. This
fixes both the pointer from pointing at the bottom of the pointer icon
and the whole screen, even besides the background, from being tiled and
cut off at the bottom the same distance that the pointer points
problematically. The screen is also shifted to the left. The left part
that is cut off is shown on the right side of the monitor. But the mouse
does not show on the right side when I put it past the left side, only
everything else. The cut off portion at the bottom does not come out the
other side at the top, but the top menu bar is larger than normal and
the Firefox icon has a blue streak emanating from the end of the blue
portion of the Firefox logo straight to the top. If I enter Configure
Display Settings again after it is fixed, it right away makes the
problem again. I expect it to fit the screen without me having to,
temporarily, fix it. I'm using a Dell monitor, model number: E172FPt.
