How to Install Intel Graphics Driver? (Links are broken)

thedude

Hi,

What is the correct method to update the proper Intel drivers for Ubuntu?

I've been following the Ubuntu guide from here;
https://wiki.up-community.org/Ubuntu

Which lists two options. First, the linuxgraphics update tool.
https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/update-tool

Unfortunately, if you follow that link, the tool was removed on March 8. So that option no longer exists. I had used that on my board, but reflashed it today, and was disappointed to find it was gone.

The other option is to download the firmware separately, but none of the firmware downloads appear to be for Cherry Trail.

Is there any way to install the Intel graphics driver?

edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "Device"
  Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
  Driver      "intel"
  Option      "TearFree" "true"
EndSection

or create a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

Section "Device"
  Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
  Driver      "intel"
  Option      "TearFree" "true"
EndSection

then reboot linux
