buggy rendering of chrome based applications

[perrot]

When using intel videocard and xserver-xorg-video-intel,
- mattermost desktop
- visual studio code
and postman

do not render correctly, hovering the mouse over the window generates white square artifacts. Blinking contents tend to disappear...

This is fixed by using the nvidia driver.

This sounds like a problem with the nouveau graphics driver. If the nvidia driver fixes it for you then please keep using that.
