Corruption on Display in Safari on Macbook Pro

Question

The page screen in Safari using Macbook pro corrupts and the only way to clear it is to highlight it and then click on it to clear corruption. Does anyone know how to fix this?
It only happens on the macbook. On my Imac it is fine.
Changing the resolution of the display only makes things fuzzy.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm having the same problem, but it's also happening in Mail.app. It is an intermittent problem... a reboot will make it stop happening. It is the same effect as if you were in photoshop and dragged the brightness/contrast slider to the left. So, on a page with photos and a gradient background, the photos get progressively darker the more you scroll. You can even see the gradient background darkening, until the page is almost entirely black, with a few white specks where highlights were (again, just like photoshop).
With text (like an email message) the same effect happens, but it makes the anti-aliasing go to solid black. Here's a screenshot of that http://web.me.com/bigphaty/Screenshots/AppleDisplayProblems.html
I tried to take a screenshot of the photo webpage, but clicking my screenshot widget refreshed the page and it cleared up.
I use a Wacom Intuos tablet, but it happens with the trackpad too. Running a MBP 2.16 core duo with 2g ram. Latest Leopard 10.5.5.
I've also noticed some strange artifacts pop up intermittently when using quicksilver. It will look like a cracked glass screen or something, only for a split second, then disappear.
I've had other issues too, my MBP will wake up and think an external monitor is attached, or wake up at 800x600... The Apple store said they would fix it, but it would take almost a week. That was extremely disappointing, I paid for AppleCare, I can't be without my computer for a week! That's ridiculous.
