Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-psb

I am experiencing screen corruption in Firefox and xulrunning based
applications such as Miro on my Dell Mini 12 which uses the Intel GMA500
(Poulsbo) video chipset.  The issue only surfaces on certain web sites
such as Plaxo.com and many Drupal themes where there appear to be some
layered DIVs.  I have seen it crop up on other sites as well, but have
not cataloged them yet.  It appears to be related to pages with complex
CSS layouts.  Moving another window over Firefox disrupts Firefox's
rendering further.

Many of the affected web sites only show minor cosmetic glitches, but
others such as Plaxo display mangled navigation menus making the site
unnavigable.

I believe this issue surfaced after the last system update for the Dell
Mini 12.  Everything looks correct when running Firefox on a virtual
desktop through Xephyr/Xnest.  I also found the same issue when testing
the latest Firefox v3.5 b4.

I am running the Dell packaged version of Ubuntu 8.04.  lsb_release -rd
displays 804.1, but the 8.04.2 updates that were released a few weeks
ago are installed:

lsb_release -rd:
