[SOLVED] Screen shifted up, aspect ratio different after -Syu

Couldn't fit this in the title, but halfway through my last pacman -Syu, there was a notification for low space on root partition. I guess I was just being foolish when I ignored it, but after I restarted it, the screen is.. well.. look at it: http://i.imgur.com/7hj8D.png
Not evident in the screenshot is that all I can see is up to the url bar and the bottom inch is just black.

So what's happening here? I'm not exactly sure what happened or how to describe it, so it's hard to search for my problem. If anyone at least can tell me what it looks like did not work properly I can look for other threads.

I'm using a Fujitsu Lifebook T-1010 and using xf-86 intel video. More useful information: when updating (it's been a couple weeks since my last system update) I had issues with updating libgl (required for xf86-video-intel and others), and the best advice I could get from forums is to ignore it when updating.

Thanks.

1.What issues? What does your pacman.log say  about that update?

Yes, that's the one everything I can find links to, and there are two suggestions there: ignore it when you upgrade (what I did) or "you don't need those". Problem is I do:

$ whoneeds libgl
Packages that depend on [libgl]
  cheese
  empathy
  eog-plugins
  evince
  gdm
  gnome-color-manager
  gnome-documents
  gnome-games
  gnome-games-extra-data
  gnome-session
  gnome-shell
  gnome-tweak-tool
  google-talkplugin
  mesa
  mesa-demos
  mutter
  processing
  sushi
  totem
  vlc
  xf86-video-ati
  xf86-video-intel
  xf86-video-vmware
  xorg-utils
  xscreensaver

Re: [SOLVED] Screen shifted up, aspect ratio different after -Syu

Are you able to remove it(libgl) from Ignorepkg and upgrade to newer version?

Of course, and no. What you see posted above is after I removed it from my ignore list.

Also, my display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller

Close, but I have an Intel card, not nVidia. Mine: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller

The thread is not about nvidia. Its about libgl .

Sorry, all I'm gleaning from that thread is that the guy should remove non-nvidia drivers and dri packages, and then install the utils package that includes its own libgl implementation. As far as I can tell from updating either libgl or the drivers is that in my case, this does not happen.

Remove your non intel and dri packages.

I removed xf86-video-ati. That's the only other video driver I had (can't remember why, did have a reason in the past). No change.

What do you mean by 'no change'? Have you removed tdfx-dri etc. too?

Re: [SOLVED] Screen shifted up, aspect ratio different after -Syu

Alright, I took a risk and removed all the -dri's (as seen here) and I'm now back to normal. I was hesitant to do this, as another similar situation cropped up some time ago and deleting video drivers as suggested led to a week of work. Learning process it may have been, I am very hesitant about that now, as I'm using an older laptop that isn't so interested in 100% compliance with most new stuff.

Also, by "Remove your non intel and dri packages" I read that as "Remove your non intel and non-dri packages." So that post was the right way to go after all. Thanks
