Through a process of disk snapshotting, apt-mark holding certain packages, and bisecting the dist-upgrade, I've narrowed it down to one of the following packages. I'm unable to narrow it down any further. This is the output of `apt-get dist-upgrade --dry-run`
The following packages will be upgraded: xserver-common xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-video-nouveau xserver-xorg-video-radeon xserver-xorg-video-vmware xvfb 8 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

If I unhold them all, I get the screen occlusion as described above. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1464365 Title: Resolution is incorrect; screen mostly occluded To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1464365/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
