Ubuntu 15.10 Intel® 945GM x86/MMX/SSE2 graphics driver issues with 32-bit OS

Question

I am also having issues with my graphics driver.

Graphics: Intel® 945GM x86/MMX/SSE2
OS type: 32-bit

The screen gets corrupted with lines all over it and the only way to fix it is to force a refresh by moving some windows around with the mouse. The issue started after I upgraded from 15.4 to 15.10, which appears to be how it went for Alejandro Lázaro and jit, but the solution that jit tried did not work for me; which involved editing the following file with the contents listed:

/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
   Driver      "intel"
   Option      "AccelMethod"  "uxa"
EndSection

Please provide some more details. Linux kernel version by using command "uname -r". If the below answer works please mark it as correct. — Ashu, Jan 31 '16 at 02:41

Try this

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel

Enter Command

sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

This command will create the file and open it for you. Insert the text below exactly as it appears and click save.

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

and then

sudo reboot

That gave different issues. Menus do not display correctly in applications, so I reverted to my previous state. – Raymond Erdey Feb 03 '16 at 01:30
