I can confirm this too, using GNOME. Firefox rendering is particularly shaky; also Gtk+ widgets get rendered strangely. Scrolling the browser window with the mouse wheel almost always shows artifacts. This is a clear regression from Intrepid, and should be marked as such.

xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.6.3-0ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - Access the Xv buffer through the GTT for the non-KMS case.
    - Fix i915 textured video to work with the i830_memory -> bo change.
    - Make i830_allocate_memory take tiling parameters.
    - Fixup bogus VBT when detected. Causes incorrect video modes for
      several Dell and Sony machines.
    - Various KMS, BOs, UXA, and DRI2 fixes
    - Various new hw quirks
  * Add ChangeLog not included in upstream tarball (else FTBS)
  * Add 112_num_used_fences.patch: Work around FTBS due to missing kernel
    header changes (from drm commit 0f973f27888e4664b253ab2cf69c67c2eb80ab1b)
  * debian/control: Update libdrm2 dependency to 2.4.5
  * Drop patches applied upstream:
    - 104_i830-vbt-timing-hack.patch
    - 108_dont_disable_vga_centering_bit.patch
    - 111_quirks_march4_sync.patch (Fixes LP: #343577)
  * Refresh 107_remove_pageflipping.diff to apply
