Version 1.4 of xorg-server displays a black vertical bar (about 16 pixels wide) roughly in the middle of my screen at all times. When I login to GNOME, a second vertical bar composed of many short horizontal bars, evenly spaced, appears about 200 pixels from the left edge of the screen. Both bars span the full height of the screen. Mouse behaviour is also bizarre: the GNOME menu will only stay open if the mouse button is held (normally it will stay open with a simple click). I have a ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 video card. I tried generating a new xorg.conf but this did not help. The following downgrades fixed my problem:

xorg-server (1.4-4 -> 1.2.0-5)
xf86-input-keyboard (1.2.2-2 -> 1.1.1-1)
xf86-input-mouse (1.2.3-1 -> 1.2.1-1)
xf86-video-ati (6.7.195-1 -> 6.6.3-3)
This task depends upon
