Origin of the problem: xserver-xorg-video-intel is buggy but the differential solution is modesetting (option 1 here) does not allow to fix brightness control (F5/F6). File /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf/20-intel.conf for the current condition

Fig. 1-4 Outputs in Matlab where you see cluttering of texture

Differential solution: sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-intel, and Ubuntu starts to use modesetting package instead. Output: clear texture in Matlab.

    Look like a bug to me. This question reports a similar problem. I have Matlab 2015, and do not have that problem. Although I have 14.04. Did you tried a different Matlab version? –  Aug 26 '16 at 21:51
  • @luchonacho I am testing the Intel package in different hardwares. I think the bug is in the intel package with the hardware. - - My previous hardware uses NVidia GPU so it does not have it. - - No, I have not tested different Matlab versions about the case. – Léo Léopold Hertz 준영 Aug 27 '16 at 07:33
