Comment 28 for bug 378794

Fwiw, I get a lot of screen corruption with Karmic and now Lucid, but it looks different to all the screenshots in prior comments. I notice it mostly when using Gnome Terminal - usually a block of characters is drawn blank (as if spaces), but occasionally (~25% of the time) will contain a corrupt spattering of pixels. But that's probably because I use the terminal more than anything else. It does sometimes happen when rendering in Firefox.

I'll try to get a screen shot next time.

My system is a laptop with Intel 945GM, and I have not enabled compositing (Visual Effects == None).

I've had problems with the X Intel video drivers from all versions of Ubuntu since about Hoary Hedgehog (maybe earlier), including a different type of corruption in Jaunty (which I haven't seen since), but the "block of pixels misdrawn" corruption seems to be only the last two releases.
