    System Settings->Software & Updates->Additional Drivers

    To check what graphics adapter:

    Code:
    sudo lshw -C display
    Should result in something like this:

    Code:
    sudo lshw -C display
    [sudo] password for cariboo:

    Display with Ubuntu 15.04 on has been giving me fits. My display adapter is
    description: VGA compatible controller
    product: 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller
    vendor: Intel Corporation

    After 11 months of hassle a workaround was posted on Launchpad:
    Code:
    #sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
    #Add the following lines
    Section "Device"
       Identifier "Intel Graphics"
       Driver "intel"
    Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
    EndSection
    #reboot
    Default AccelMethod is called "sna" which code is screwed up on this Lenovo M58p.

    I'm guessing this might be worth a try for you......no promises.

    I think VinDSL posted this a couple of years ago, I think it was during the saucy dev cycle.
    But I can't find the link. Worked Nice on Acer 5560 and Lenovo B-570

    Kind Regards
