"i945" is not a "driver", it's a chipset family. It does appear that all commenters on this bug have i945 chipsets. The correct command to run to check this is:
$ lspci | grep VGA | grep 945 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GSE Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) It may say "945GSE", or "82945", or etc. The key thing is that "945" is in there somewhere. I tested a i945 netbook, first with Ubuntu from about a week or so ago, then updated to current. Prior to the update I could not reproduce the bug. After the update I was able to reproduce it. There are three drivers for i945: One is the kernel driver named i915, one is a mesa driver , and one is the X driver name -intel. The kernel driver handles the hardware, the mesa driver does 3D acceleration, the X driver 2D acceleration. During this period, none of the three drivers have changed. mesa's last update was 27 Mar. xserver-xorg-video-intel was 15 Feb. The kernel has had some changes more recently but has been frozen in this time period. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/981168 Title: Regression: Installing apps causes a terrible visual glitch-- have to restart X.org.
