I know that my Intel drivers are out of date, but I am unsure of exactly how to get them up-to-date, because when I was running Windows 7 I was able to run Intel's "Intel® Driver Update Utility" which would automatically find the right Intel drivers for my system and then install them.
But this "Intel® Driver Update Utility" is only available on Windows, so I would have to use a different solution on Linux.
I did some further research and found out that there is an open-source "Intel(R) Graphics Installer for Linux" which I can install from: Linux GraphicsIntel(R) - Graphics Installer for Linux* 1.0.7
I read about this open-source software here: Latest Intel Linux Graphics Drivers Now Available on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
But was disappointed to find that this software seems only to be available on Ubuntu for 14.04: Intel Graphics Installer Updated, No Longer Makes Xorg Go Kaboom Yet the link says that:
Support for Ubuntu 14.10 is likely to arrive with the release of the 2014Q4 stack, due in December
But when visiting the "Intel(R) Graphics Installer for Linux"'s website which I mentioned above, it says that the latest version is 1.0.7 which is the version which in the other link (that I mentioned above) it states that that version only supports 14.04 in Ubuntu.
So really what my question is, can I get a version of this software which supports Ubuntu 14.10, and if not then when will the version which does support 14.10 be released? Are there any versions still in development which I can try out that would work on 14.10?
A version of the driver update software was finally released which supports Ubuntu 14.10. It can be installed from here: Linux GraphicsIntel(R) - Graphics Installer for Linux* 1.0.8
