Some Graphics Card Fixes:
Here are some fixes to problems to some specific graphics card issues (usually OpenGL related).

ATI
In the graphics driver, set all of the "custom settings" to highest quality and then set the "compatibility setting: Z-buffer depth to "force 16 bit".

Or, in the Advanced settings of the Radeon driver, choose MayaNT.

Driver version 4.2 will work solid. ATI is aware of this problem and someone from their catalyst support team says it will be fixed in the next release; 4.6 or 4.7.

NVidia-Based Quadro
Go to the OpenGL Display Properties panel and change the Page Flipping mode to "Use block transfer" (the specific wording might be different, depending on the driver). And turn off Enable "Back/Depth buffers".
NVidia-based GeForce FX5200

Reduce the display size from 1152x864 to 1024x768 (or less).

Elsa Synergy
Turn off "Use unified memory..." and "Enable overlay planes".

You can also try unchecking "Allow the dual planes extension to use local memory."
