My dev setup: nvidia drivers ubuntu 11.10 64bit xterm vim I've tried two possible solutions mentioned here: http://lists.clug.org.za/pipermail/clug-tech/2011-June/045329.html
Which are: CCSM -> Workarounds -> Fix screen updated in XGL with fglrx CCSM -> Workarounds -> Force synchronization between X and GLX But these didn't work for me. I do find that if I turn off syntax colors in vim the problem seems to go away (or at least the probability of it occurring is so low I haven't yet seen it). alt-tab then escape is a way to redraw the xterm screen as well. I can't seem to turn on unity-2d as in James' instructions. unity-2d is installed but not option in the gears menu (I haven't hunted for an alternate way to turn it on as yet). It'd be great if someone has another workaround that doesn't involve turning off syntax highlighting. Adding another image attachment example with areas that are lost highlighted in case more evidence helps...
