I had this same problem pop up recently and after getting all sorts of confused at "answers" I found while trying to remedy the situation (I am by no means a Linux guru), I fixed it by just re-installing the drivers for my graphics card.

I had to first uninstall the old drivers and the new drivers fixed it right up. It now works perfectly.

In my case my card is an older ATI Radeon 3000 HD series and they had a Linux driver available for it.
