I just performed a reboot after taking a bunch of updates and now my
laptop screen is 'fuzzy'. Second LCD screen is fine, and laptop screen
is fine right up to the point I login. Once logged in it looks out of
focus as though odd pixel lines are moved down one. Affects graphics as
well as text.
Main change of the update was kernel 2.6.27-9-generic, but booting back
into previous 2.6.27-7-generic makes no difference. There was nothing
video-related in the updates.
Any ideas what might have gone wrong and how to fix?
TIA

Changing screen resolution makes no difference.
