@Michael:
It appears that you are suggesting that the bug is invalid because you can't figure out the solution. The bug (not being able to view the screen properly) makes the system very difficult to operate and almost impossible to provide good diagnostic information, but please be assured that it very definitely is a bug. It is a bug of MAJOR proportions and you can either pretend that it does not exist and force potential users to proceed as if Ubuntu does not exist either, or you can fix the BUG.
In order to diagnose and fix this bug you are reliant on potential users to be both patient and persistant. As stated earlier, I have spent the past two days trying to work out the problems, that is a significant investment of my time. No doubt others who have reported this BUG have also invested heavily with their time.
In this repect, I very much appreciate the efforts of those who have found solutions that work for them and the people who are working on trying to fix the problem now.
What you don't know at the moment, is how many people just gave up and moved on.
I have uploaded several screen pictures to help everyone visualise the problem. You can find these pictures at the following URL's:

As you can see the sceen is split into 3 segments. The segments are non-contiguous. The cursor does not work in the left or right segments, and one has to try and manipulate the middle segment to bring into view the information required. Unfortunately you cannot always see what you need and spend much of the time working blind.
