[Bug 748768] Re: Why does my mouse point to a place besides where the cursor is pointing?

 

apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected natty ubuntu

** Description changed:

  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.
