What video card/driver are you using?

I've noticed missing letters in fonts before that are rendered in
OpenGL using the revision of the intel video driver that is in
Intrepid. Most noticeable was an application called Stellarium; much
of the letters in the text display were missing. GE had other problems
that made it unusable, most notably flickering.

I've since switched to Jaunty, and the video drivers have improved to
the point where the flickering and font abnormalities are no longer
present.
