Bug Description
This happens since upgrading to 13.10. With 13.04 I did not have this problem.
I notice glitches in the text rendering (randomly, one character in many will be rendered as noise). This happens in all applications (xterm, Mozilla, etc). Other that that I observe no crashes or problems.
Attached is a snapshot that shows the problem.
