Not sure why I am referenced in the subject line.  I use Ubuntu and
have experienced no display update issues with an i5 processor on
Intel 3000 graphics.  For anyone with problems I suggest moving to
Ubuntu unless they absolutely cannot manage without Windows.  It is
great to feel that one is back in control of one's machine after
changing.
