The Intel Graphics Installer for Linux, which supports Ubuntu 13.10 and Fedora 19, allows you to stay current with the latest optimizations and fixes to Intel’s graphics drivers to ensure that you get the best experience under Linux. Intel has drivers for most of its GPUs including those found in the Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7 processors as. As soon as the tool finishes installing the drivers, close it and reboot your Linux PC. When you load it up, you’ll have the absolute latest Intel video drivers in Ubuntu. Installing Other Intel Drivers. After installing the video drivers to Ubuntu, you may still be missing a driver or two. Intel aren't mean like that, the Intel open source driver is the best driver for Intel hardware, there's no 'missing features'. Whilst the later version of the Intel driver might have some new stuff, generally what a desktop environment does is pretty simple, there should be support for that in all open source drivers.
I had 10.04 installed on my Thinkpad r61 with Compiz Manager and life was great, until the machine took water damage. I bought an ASUS (X54H) since and am trying out 12.04, but the desktop just doesn't look right.
I always struggled with video driver installation. There are no proprietary drivers available in the hardware manager.
When I run
lspci | grep VGA :
I will greatly appreciate your help. I want to use Linux more, but like I said video drivers appear to be my biggest concern. I have also tried 12.04 on my desktop PC, but again failed to configure video card, so switched back to Windows 7.

The Intel graphics driver is part of the
xserver-xorg-video-intel driver package, which is installed on all Ubuntu systems by default. And since it isn't a proprietary driver package, it doesn't show up in jockey (aka the Hardware Drivers application).
Just to ensure it didn't get removed by mistake (very slim possibility), just run this command:
If the driver is installed, and you're still having issues with graphics on your desktop, then please file a bug report against the xorg package, using this terminal command:

The Ubuntu Forums has a good description of how to install/update the Intel graphic driver in Ubuntu.
Extract of the pertinent part is as given below:
Ubuntu no longer uses xorg.config file. You will have to create this file in the next step and enter in values.
Create file
sudo -H gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and edit it
Save and close it. Restart your interface or just reboot you machine and go back to system settings - details - graphics and verify that your drivers are displayed.

I hope this helps someone, I actually was trying to load the MAME arcade emulator on my Lubuntu 15.10 and had to do the following since I got this error:
I tried every suggestion in this thread, which didn't seem to resolve the issue. I also did the following:
tried the steps here:So, the rub (if your Google-fu takes you here directly) to get this to work (on Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10):
ALSO AFTER DOING THAT, I DID THIS:
Lubuntu System Menu [Bottom Left Corner] > Preferences > Additional Drivers Choose > Using Processor Microcode from Intel CPUs from intel-microcode [Proprietary]
INSTALLED THE OPTION ABOVE and NOW MY ERROR is gone!! I'm using a Dell Dimension 3000 which this worked/resolved issue.
