Public bug reported:
after upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10, the terminal doesn't refresh
properly. It's hard to describe, but I can take a video if needed. If
I am editing a file with vim, when I jump to the bottom with crtg+G, it
doesn't refresh the window. Each line will refresh as I move my cursor
up, one line at a time. There are other oddities within the terminal as
well. When I use apt-get to install, I sometimes don't see the last
line asking me for my password, etc.
Thinkpad R61 with the following graphics card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G84M [Quadro NVS 140M]
(rev a1)
This doesn't happen with the nouveau or nvidida-173 driver. only the
current driver.
