I would suspect the video driver. I have a Intel machine that is running Slackware 14.0 and the display works fine with xterms but when graphics are involved the display of the graphics has problems. I would check for a graphics driver update.
I think this is the right information from the dmesg file:
input: Video Bus as /devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0A08:00/LNXVIDEO:00/input/input6
ACPI: Video Device [GFX0] (multi-head: yes rom: no post: no)
[drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20080730 for 0000:00:02.0 on minor 0
