Graphics driver being reported as Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x300) instead of intel

I had to edit xorg.conf in order to get this to work. I had tried the instructions to create a xorg.conf file for 12.04 with no luck, giving me a "could not create lock file in /tmp/.tXO -lock" error. Running man xorg.conf it gave me several alternate locations to find it. Hidden among the depths of the system in /etc/X11/ was xorg.conf. I had to change the driver to "intel" and the description in my case "Intel 945gm". I then ran sudo -i gedit to edit the file to my needs. After a restart the correct driver is now in use. Hope this can help someone else. :)


I have this issue too, I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 with a Intel core i5 and Intel Graphics 3000 exactly the same issue, happened just after an update today, is there any way to revert that to an previous state? I can't do a clean install because i have over 200 GB of data, and i can't backup so much data at this moment

Edit: my computer is a Mac, not a Toshiba, so i don't think is a brand specific problem

Edit: After a f*king lot of research i found that this command solves everything

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel

And that's all...
