LinuxQuestions.org - Screen scrambled after sid update

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
