This is a strange issue. I have hosed my Xorg so that the
mouse cursor/keyboard is working but the
screen is scrabbled.
see pic below:

The mouse cursor looks fine and I can tab around the screen and the scrabbled background changes as if it were a hardware issue. I do think this is a hard ware issue because my xubuntu partition is booting and displaying correctly. The Computer is a Thinkpad G41 type 2886 - 5TU
I have tried :
Code:
Using apt-get to remove xserver* and xorg* , then installing everything
Using apt-get to remove gdm and , then installing gdm
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
dpkg-reconfigure xorg
What should I do? Any advice or links would be greatly appreciated!
here is my lspci output from my working xubuntu partion
