Its a lot easier to just post a screenshot than to describe whats going on. View attached screenshot. Notice how there are random graphical glitches in the title bar and behind some of the icons in the dock.
I am using the free ati drivers and my gpu
lspci|grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M76 [Radeon Mobility HD 2600 Series]
The pc is a gateway laptop.
I have tried fglrx but there are even more problems such as a extreme mouse and keyboard lag...among other issues.
On a related note, I am often logging out then back in because restarting unity seems to fix the glitches although they eventually return. Is there any program that gives the option of reloading unity, like the compiz fuzion icon? Or some commands in terminal that will do the same thing?
Any help is greatly appreciated
