[Ilugc] Help in resolving Problem - artifacts in screen frequently

Hi,

I am using Linux Mint 12 (which is based on Ubuntu 11.10). I am getting
artifacts in screen while doing casual work. This happens when using compiz
(unity) or gnome 3 (both use OpenGL). When using gnome 2 without compiz (3D
effects) things are fine. I raised a bug in Ubuntu and Mint but no
response. Can anyone help in resolving this? I am using Intel 82945G
graphics card (i915 driver). I have tried Linux kernel 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 all
have the same issues. Running Mesa 7.11.

Here is the screen-shot "

I have just opened a file manager and ran glxgears. The screen is
completely filled with some random junk. When I pressed "print screen" some
part got cleared and you can see it.

Please feel free to ask for more info if needed.

Thanks,
Prasanna Kumar T S M
