I’ve recently bought a new laptop, a 15.6” HP Probook, that replaced my netbook Asus EEE 900 (needed some bigger hardware to work on “on the move”). One problem I encountered was blender not displaying correctly if I’d expand any dropdown menu etc. The fix is very simple yet powerfull, just set the following:

LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 blender

This will launch blender and render it’s interface in software mode – runs perfectly, and no slowdowns could be detected by me so far :-)
