After reading this page https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/81523 /Graphics-Drivers-for-Intel-82Q963-Graphics-and-Memory-Controller-Hub- GMCH-, I see that latest official drivers from Intel date from august 2013.
Possible workarounds: - Keep on using Linux and have to reboot every few hours to see text ok - Install Windows, even though I prefer Linux. - Buy another computer. (I don't like to do so, in an otherwise good working computer). - Try to use another driver. Which one? $ lsmod Module Size Used by i915 783805 2 video 19476 1 i915 I think the used driver is i915. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1098334 Title: [gen4 sna] Font corruption Status in xf86-video-intel: In Progress Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: After enabling the SNA acceleration method and rebooting, I noticed that graphical glitches appeared in the letters on Chromium's tab bar during the mouse hover animation.
