Today I re-installed Lucid alpha-1 from the alternate CD. Grub was
properly updated so I can boot into either Jaunty or Lucid.

Initially, the login screen appeared to be around 1600x1200. When I
logged in, the screen size was set to 1024 x 768, but the hardware
cursor only ranged from X=0 to X=800 or so on the screen. However on
observing icons in the upper panel, I could see the system was mapping
the cursor position to the full screen size, so I could actually click
on the various icons (including a logout icon)

Adding

  Option "SWCursor" "true"

to an xorg.conf file I created solved the cursor position problem, at
the expense of the flickering of the cursor as it was moved.

Note that I observed a similar discrepancy in position with the hardware
cursor, when I originally reported the bug after updating alpha-1.

The only package I've added since reinstalling has been openssh-server,
so I can log in to the laptop when there are screen  problems.

The state of tty switching is: using Alt-F3 to switch to a console gives
me a multicolored screen; using Alt-F7 will switch back to Gnome.

I don't plan to update for a few days, unless there is likely to be a
fix for some of these problems.
