I started using an external display attached to my 15" Unibody MBP through a MiniDisplayPort-to-VGA (analog) connector.

Everything works fine, but when I drag a window on the external monitor (both in dual monitor and single-monitor-close lid mode) I see some strange artifacts.

Basically, the window just "breaks". One part goes faster than the other . Sometimes you have broken edges, other times the window wobbles (like on Linux Compiz).

Images are better than thousands of words... here's the video I took with my cell phone:

Is it normal? Is there any way to solve this issue?

My MBP's logic board has been replaced twice in the past three weeks. So I just wonder if there is a new problem also on this third one.

It's the only monitor I have. I will try with another one in the next days.

Thanks for the reply...
