I'm new to the forum, and Ubuntu as well. i have installed the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS along with the windows 7, the installation went fine. but the problem is i cannot install my graphic driver. I have Intel 945.I searched in the site also and found that its driver is obsolete so anyone please help me to install my graphic driver.

Thank in advance.

Drop into your terminal and issue the following commands;

 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates

 sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel

Now you need to create a config file;

sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Then paste this into the file;

Section "Device" 
Identifier "Card0" 
Driver "intel" 
Option "AccelMethod" "sna" 
EndSection

Save the file and give your machine a reboot. You should now have the correct driver installed.

    This also solved my problem over at http://askubuntu.com/questions/491506/second-monitor-recognized-but-only-black-screen – Kevin Jul 04 '14 at 04:00

I had same problems and solved them by updating kernel to 3.5.x+ and install fresh xorg-video-intel:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-video-intel-lts-raring xserver-xorg-video-intel-dbg
