Why 7.10? Recent hardware often needs recent drivers. Try 8.04. what driver is kubuntu choosing for the X server? (grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf, or if it is autoprobing peruse /var/log/Xorg.0.log). Does it have artifacts on the live cd? Or just on an installed version? google for the specific chipset and or model number, or look here http://www.linux-laptop.net/ or here http://tuxmobil.org/asus.html for the specific hardware, which will give you user experience based tips.
