I think it is AMD but I am not 100% sure.

just to be sure, type

Code: Select all

lspci | grep VGA

and copy/paste the output for me. I'll help you out with the driver install.

Ok here is what it output:

Code: Select all

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)

Apparently it was Intel not AMD

hmm, looks like a laptop? It might be using optimus, which is a whole other mess, especially on linux

For integrated Intel video cards, the open source is preferred, since it's maintained by Intel. No need to play with it. Unfortunately, that was what I was running back when I had your issues. Things were flying around my screen like spaceships in minecraft. XD

The best advice I can offer is to leave the video drivers as-is. There's a project called bumblebee which is trying to support optimus, but I'm not 100% sure your laptop uses it.

As for optifine, does it only occur when optifine is installed?

If you're running the HD D3 Ultra version, disable Multi-core. Check for the artifacts. If they still occur, try the standard version. If that doesn't work, just use the default minecraft.bin file, and check for the artifacts.

I'm guessing you updated java?

Well i did try bumblebee and it did not install correctly using the PPA, then I tried to build it, to no success. OpenJDK 7 does not help, so i will have to go back to 6. I will try to get a video uploaded to YouTube showing all the glitches sometime soon.
