I've been having a problem using xfce on my hp laptop. There are these graphical glitches appearing and dissapearing everywhere (pictures here). This happens with any distribution. Other desktop environments work fine. It happens with both the vesa driver and the amd driver. Also sometimes when I upgrade the packages, I get warnings related to the gpu like: "possible missing firmware", but I'm not sure what that means exactly.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I really don't know what to do.

dmesg | grep microcode
?

This isn't right. This isn't even wrong.

I believe it describes this...

If using the amd driver, try setting the compositor to use xpresent:
xfwm4 --vblank=xpresent --replace
If that one doesn't work, also try with "--vblank=off".

This one solved it, thank you.
