I'm attaching some logs. The current kernel version - from Karmic - is
given here:

Ubuntu version and kernel version
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=lucid
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu lucid (development branch)"
Linux eros 2.6.31-20-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 12 05:23:09 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
model name	: Mobile AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 2800+

The kern.log file doesn't appear to show anything about running
2.6.31-20 - only from previous boots with Lucid kernels.

  I installed Lucid on the Averatec 3280 laptop from the Alternate CD on
  10 December 2009. I then updated the system with apt-get several times.
  On booting this morning, the logical screen origin was shifted to the
  center of the screen. With some difficulty, I was able to log in, and to
  try to find a solution.
  
  After the original installation, my login screen was too large, so that
  the login window was of center. It looks like some bugs have been
  reported about that issue, such as #231555 and @214704; I haven't looked
  at the details. I have had similar problems with earlier releases on
  this laptop. However, once logged in, the screen resolution was correct
  (1024x768 on this laptop's panel). Adding an xorg.conf file seemed to
  cure the login screen size problem.
  
  The split-screen problem only appeared this morning, after an update the
  previous evening.
  
  I will attach a photo of the screen and any further details a bit later
  - it's a bit difficult to edit this report with the screen split with
  the browser's left and right margins in the middle of the screen.
  
  Also, I now get a blank screen when trying to ctrl-alt-F3 etc to a tty
  console - this did not happen with the original installation of Lucid,
  yesterday.
  
  This problem makes the system virtually unusable!
