On my Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E330 (i3 3110M, HD4000), since upgrading to Mint 16, I got multiple issues with screen rendering:
* glitches/corruption mainly in Firefox and Thunderbird (random small black blocks in the browser window, of about 10x4 pixels, or corrupted text when scrolling)
* Various games that did run fine in Mint 15 using Wine/Playonlinux now give troubles:
DeusEx refuses to use high-res textures form NewVision even when using OpenGL renderer and correct settings, Sword of the Stars: The Pit (I know, there's a native version, but I don't own that) refuses to start at all and complains that it could not find a Direct3D device that supports XNA framework reach profile - both of which worked fine under Mint 15.
Icewind Dale is unplayable fullscreen in OpenGL mode, since the picture flickers like crazy - windowed works fine.
I doubt that it's a Wine issue, since I made sure to use the same version and settings as before.
* Shadowrun Returns (native Linux version) produces glitches on overlays in the form of, for lack of better words, an array of small boxes/rectangles and lines that appears and quickly vanishes again, sometimes flickering on and off for a short time.

I installed the xorg-edgers ppa and updated, which seems to have affected the glitches in Firefox - I now don't get the small boxes on scrolling anymore, but rather the bottom right part of the screen is diagonally filled with an array of small coloured boxes for a fraction of a second, which just shows up and vanishes again randomly from time to time.
Sorry that I can only offer this somewhat vague description, it happens too fast to capture it on a photo or screenshot...
