Intel gm965/gl960

[vladimirvilimaitis]

I've been experenceing severe problems due to the lack of graphic drivers recently, and I urgently need to install one. I've found a website that allows me to do so - https://01.org/linuxgraphics/ - but I have no idea how to get drivers out of there. Can I get any help? My GPU is gm965/gl960, if that helps anyhow.

Such as?

The Intel drivers built in to the kernel are pretty good. What's the exact problem you're having?

Such as?

White lines occasionally flickering on screen, making it impossible to do anything. I doubt it's related to physical malfunction.

I also get message on login/logout that states that I have 2 missing kernel drivers.

due to the lack of graphic drivers

If you had no graphics drivers, you would not be seeing a desktop or even a command line; instead, you would be seeing a blank, black screen.

Linux drivers are automatically installed during initial setup -- so the Intel drivers are already there.

What version of Linux are you using?

What you are describing is an indication of hardware problems -- and as this is a pretty old Intel chipset, it's possible the video chipset is failing.

Terminal states that I am using 3.11.0-15-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP i686 GNU/Linux. Shortly, it's Xubuntu 13.10.

I do not think that I have all the drivers, as the message on the boot up clearly states that I have 2 missing kernel drivers. I can provide a picture of the exact error I am getting, if needed.

That would help -- as guessing at error messages is essentially a waste of time.
