Bug Description

I am experiencing a weird bug on my laptop where the screen, or usually party of the screen don't update.

It's hard to explain but basically when I do something that changes part of the screen (or rather should change) the area in question keeps displaying the old content. When I move with the mouse over the area in question some small parts get updated, like a link or a button that I hover. When I click inside the window or move it the display updates and everything is fine.

This happens with all software but especially with firefox.

I am using the closed Nvidia driver, but i also use that one and the same software on my desktop PC, which works fine.

I have a Dell XPS M1330, nvidia 8400gs, core 2 duo

I attached a screenshot to show how my System Monitor looks like when I switch from the 'Resources' to the 'Processes' tab.
