Hello,
Sometime between the move from Hardy to Intrepid (I forget if this is Intrepid's fault or not) my beautiful widescreen got everything stretched horizontally. Circles look like ellipses, squares like rectangles, etc. I've played around a little bit under the "Screen Resolution" settings, but nothing exciting happened.
I've seen this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=656289 but it's not solved (the OP went AWOL, or something)

Thanks!

Update: When the GDM is loading (just shows background color and cursor) it's in the right proportion. Then the screen flickers and when it comes back (half a second later...less, even) the cursor is stretched.
