I had the same bug on my Inspiron 1525 laptop with an Intel GM965/GL960 card.
I am suspicious that this is due to the Virtual screen size in the graphics
card being set to 8192x8192
Previously I have always set this to a maximum of 2048x2048 or less in
xorg.conf, to prevent running out of memory on the card and getting corruption.
However these settings seem to be ignored on Karmic; with the following
configuration:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Virtual 2048 2048
EndSubSection
EndSection
I still get this:
dav...@golg:~$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3200 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192
(Note that my boot up resolution is smaller, at 1280x800, so that's not
what's adjusting the maximum)
