I've searched everywhere for hours and can't find the solution. Using Skylake i5-6500 with Asus 7170 motherboard, Ubuntu 15.04. I have been unable to get the intel graphics working, even by editing grub in the terminal with the i915 preliminary = 1 setting (I did type it correctly on the screen). I can't find how to fix this. I am using Gallium graphics now, it is the only thing that works. I also have an Nvidia gtx 950, I presume once intel HD graphics are working I can then install the Nvidia driver using root .sh on the downloaded file. If anyone can help I will personally offer to write a tutorial on how to fix it for other newbies. It seems thousands of people are having the same issue. Many, many thanks Tom

For Ubuntu 15.04 you will need to add these kernel commands to your grub configuration. i915.preliminary_hw_support=1
and also nouveau.modeset=0
I am unable to get Nvidia drivers working on 15.04.
On 15.10 I have yet to see Intel or Nvidia working for myself.
EDIT: On Ubuntu 15.04 I was able to get Nvidia graphics working. Leaving those kernel commands in place i installed via CLI nivida-346 nvidia-prime nvidia-settings
, rebooted and everything worked.
i915.preliminary_hw_support=1
. Another workaround is to try Intel graphics installer (currently 1.2.0). – mikewhatever Oct 16 '15 at 10:50
