Hello all,

I have just installed Ubuntu 11.04 on its own partition of my new computer (other partition: Windows 7). I like it with the exception of some pesky display issues:

1) I see fragments of other programs in the windows that are open (see pic 1 of QtOctave, in the "Octave Terminal" window). This causes a big problem when I try to edit text - it does not appear as I type. I often must scroll up and down for a while to refresh the window, and even then it is not 100%.

2) I sometimes see white pixels around the icons in the Applications selector. (see pic 2, white rectangles at the top of the screen)

I am running a Dell XPS 8300, Intel Core i7 processor.

Could anyone suggest a fix for this display issue?

Thanks in advance,
Dan
