intel graphics driver should already be installed in your system, are you experiencing graphical issues? what version of ubuntu are you using? open terminal and post results of these codes

Code:

lspci | grep -i vga
grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf

**miltontl** · 07-03-2010

-desktop:~$ lspci | grep -i vga
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03)

-desktop:~$ grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Driver "vesa"

edit xorg.conf file and replace vesa with i810 and reboot machine

gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

in case i810 does not work, try intel
