that sounds like a sync prob. either your monitor is going or (more likely) the update borked your xorg.conf.
you can try running dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server (i think that's the package) or xorgconfig etc. etc....there's multiple ways to reconfig your
xorg.conf
i always advise people to do this when checking hardware. throw in a knoppix disc- if the black band is still there, it's a hardware problem. check your connections and if they're all tight, i'd say it's your display and you'd be better off getting a new monitor

I can't do a screen shot because that doesn't show the problem. After running
the daily updates via aptitude and rebooting (there was a kernel update) a
horizontal black band, approximately 1/6 of my screen in vertical height,
running the full width of my screen obscures my work space. I tried poking
around in xorg.conf, but I'm not sure what to change.
Hardware is Intel i810 video chipset and a Dell 4:3 flatscreen monitor which
likes 1280x1024 60hz
If this isn't clear, I can do a screen shot and paint the black band with the
Gimp.
The mouse disappears in the black band. There is no problem with the other
character based ttys. Knoppix boot disc does not display the band.
I don't think this is relevant, but the monitor/keyboard/mouse is connected to
a kvm with this kubuntu gutsy box, an xubuntu feisty box and a win XP box.
All working fine except this one. Please help.
