What sort of machine / graphics card have you got?

I had this problem with debian - the solution (courtesy of this list) 
was :
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
I presume it's the same with ubuntu (don't have my ubuntu box in front 
of me)

Otherwise, try searching/asking on the  ubuntu users mailing list - 
there's developers there.
ubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com
If you can't deal with the traffic (it's heavy), try the gmane 
interface:
