Nvidia Graphics Errors

Hello,

I recently started using ArchLinux and I love it so far. It's very fast and reminds me of my gentoo days.

I have an nvidia 9600m GT in my HP DV5T.  My xorg.conf device section specifies "nvidia" for the driver and the identifier, and no other options.

The problem I get is when I am browsing in firefox, when I navigate to a new page, the old page stays in pieces. So the display is half the old page and half the new page. If I scroll or click anywhere on the page the page refreshes.

Another example is I go to newegg.com and mouse over a category. The subcategories don't display until I mouse over where they should be, and then they show up.

I am using compiz.

It's a very difficult problem to describe and any screenshots I take also trigger a correct render. I have also had a lot of trouble searching for the problem since I don't know the appropriate keywords.

I'm sure this has happened to others, so hopefully someone here knows what I'm talking about and can send me a quick link to a solution.

Thanks.
