[lubuntu-users] Fwd: [lubuntu-devel] Missing Intel graphic drivers on 16.04

Hi again,

Feedback: I installed

xserver-xorg-video-intel

in my old IBM Thinkcentre 8187-73G (with a Pentium 4 CPU and) with Intel 
82865G graphics.

I needed nomodeset for the graphics to work with Lubuntu 16.04 LTS, but 
now it works without any tweaks. The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with the 
tweak was renamed by the installation (and hence made inactive I guess).

So it works with Intel 82865G graphics. What about the other old Intel 
chips?

If there is more positive feedback, I'll make a new tarball and a new 
compressed image file, that can be useful until we get new iso files 
(Lubuntu 16.04.1 LTS is several months away, maybe late July or early 
August).

Best regards
Nio
