I am on Ubuntu 11.04 and the text in all the applications often looks with visual artifacts. I have installed xserver-xorg-video-intel.

Attached a image so you can appreciate.

enter image description here

lshw -c video output:

      *-display               
           description: VGA compatible controller

In the text selected in green you can see the 'Online', 'File' and 'hassle' words cut.

Your problem is that the screen resolution is too high, and your VGA is reaching it's limits. I had the same problem with a pci S3 card when I used it above 1024*768. The problem is hardware related, you can try increasing the shared memory in BIOS or you can buy an AGP card.
