Well, assuming it is mipmapping (which it may well not be!) the easiest way I know of is to install ccsm ($ sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager), open it, click on Advanced Search, type mipmap into the filter, then go through each plugin in turn and make sure the Mipmap checkbox is empty. If this doesn't fix it, try running unity --replace in a terminal and seeing if any descriptive error messages are shown when it starts misbehaving.
