Is there a command that marks the screen as "dirty" and hopefully redraws it?
If I do a control ALT F1 and the F7 this in effect redraws the screen. I am getting video artifacts that I think is in the nvidia driver. the switching console works - I was just hoping there is a more convenient way. some command or something.
Thanks,
Jerry
What about ^L, which is a common redraw keystroke for applications and shells (although it will also clear the screen on a shell).

Where - the entire monitor, or just an xterm (in which case, <ctrl-L>)?

Look at the manual for the xrefresh command.
Also check the documentation for your window manager or desktop (probably metacity) -- there may be a menu option or similar that you can enable.
