Public bug reported: Recently I experienced an issue with Intel Graphics (flickering screen making GUI useless).
So I reinstalled Ubuntu in nomodeset mode, now I am not using HW acceleration in fact. I would like to enable it again but where to start? Reading online I found multiple references to Intel vainfo etc. but after installing the package no changes... I tried to comment out the grub command line related to "nomodeset" but doing that ended up on a flickering screen again. I think that my Intel integrated chip is broken but before reaching this verdict I'd like to try everything else. Thanks for your support!
