I am on Ubuntu 11.04 and the text in all the applications often looks with visual artifacts. I have installed xserver-xorg-video-intel.

Attached a image so you can appreciate.

enter image description here

lshw -c video output:

      *-display

In the text selected in green you can see the 'Online', 'File' and 'hassle' words cut.
