Resizing Window Problem with Ubuntu 11.10

I started using Ubuntu 11.10 (Upgraded from 11.04) lately because my 2-yr old Macbook White has been experiencing kernel panics which deems unusable at the moment. So far, I am very much liking Ubuntu and would probably keep using it for work and quick hacks. However, one problem that arises with my Ubuntu is that it blanks out when resized.

To fix this :

• Go to System Settings -> Additional Drivers
• Activate NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173)
• Reboot your computer

A more graphical how-to can be seen at http://askubuntu.com/questions/66652/windows-go-blank-when-resizing. Credits to the guy who was able to solve this!
