I was FINALLY able to get Eve to work properly after searching through old forums and banging my head against my desk. Here are the very simple steps I took to solve my problems.

Problem 1: When I undock I see white jagged shapes all over my screen. When I zoom all the way out or warp they would disappear.

Problem 2: All of my ships were black, both in station and in space.

Solution:
Install driconf
$ sudo apt-get install driconf

Open driconf and change two settings.

Debugging Tab > Enable flushing batchbuffer after each draw call.

Image Quality Tab > Enable S3TC Texture compression even if software support is not available.

I'm on a Lenovo T430s Thinkpad with Kubuntu 12.04LTS with the Intel HD 4000 graphics.

Hopefully this helps some of you who may be having the same problems.
