When you say on the terminal do you mean the gnome-terminal or a virtual 
console?  What doesn't display right about the text?  Is it not smooth?  
I don't think I can help with the hardware (other than suggesting to try 
'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'), but if the fonts are not "smooth" the 
'Desktop->Preferences->Font' gnome menu has some "rendering" options 
that might help.
