Comment 16 for bug 63051

Actually, I have solved the problem in a different way. I found that my
windows get garbled upon scrolling because of the Video driver. When I
installed the nVIDIA driver for Ubuntu, the problem was fixed. Initially, I
was using envy from Alberto Milone's website to download his drivers. Ever
since I have upgraded to Fiesty Fawn this problem I have used the Ubuntu
nVIDIA driver in the repositories and it works just fine.

Thanks,
Balaji
