Graphics glitches occurring with the GeForce 9400M?

Has anyone seen the same type of graphics glitches occurring with the GeForce 9400M in the new MacBooks that occurred in the MacBook Pros with GeForce 8600M GT?

The link to that previous issue is here: http://apcmag.com/appleacknowledges_macbook_pro_graphics_glitch_offersfix.htm

When viewing web pages with both Safari and Firefox, the page gets corrupted when I scroll down with the trackpad (this does not happen when scrolling with arrow keys). Any type of animation or video on a page is also really jumpy and flashes in and out.

It sounds like this was a hardware issue with the graphics card in the last version of the MBPs. Has anyone seen this issue in their new MacBooks?

MacBook 13" (Late 2008), Mac OS X (10.5.5)

Yesterday, I decided to archive my data and reload the OS.

I downloaded all updates but did not load anything from the applications disc, such as iLife or any of my applications for work.

My plan is to load one application at a time to see if it's related to an app.

i almost always get glitches on this page (if i scroll using the trackpad gesture)

it only doesnt happen when i put the computer through lots of activity just before loading the page.

e.g. set many applications to load and press the reload button on all my browser tabs..

must be related to some power-saver feature

I'm on the 3rd day since reloading the OS. It is still a minimal configuration. (Only default application installed from OSx install disc.)

No problems yet.

No horizontal lines.

The Macbook wakes with no crash's after closing then opening the lid with and without the ac adapter plugged in.

It stays attached to the internet when lid is closed but disconnects from software updates. I looked for a option so it would stay connected during a update but haven't found one yet.

I'll re-partition my drive with boot camp soon if this continue to remain stable.

I'm feeling better about my investment now.

13 days now. I've since installed Vista 32 on BC partition.

All is well.

No change with 10.5.7. Distortion in previously mentioned places straight after restarting. FOR GOODNESS SAKE. It would be nice to know that someone at Apple even cares.
