Comment 24 for bug 362919

After I saw the messages from Bryce Harrington just above, I was reluctant to download a whole new .iso and install the OS from scratch, having done a fresh install only the previous week.

Instead, I followed instructions on updating *just* the Intel graphics driver at http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/06/new-ubuntu-intel-graphics-drivers.html (those instructions also cite Bryce) and have been test-driving for over a week now. The graphical corruption has completely vanished, and I have had no problems or side-effects.
