Hi there - I'm not sure why the i915 driver isn't activating for you - it might be worth
grabbing your Xorg log from /var/log/ and having a look at that to seeif there are any
clues.
I should point out though that this release of the Intel driver stack does not contain
an update for the driver, so whatever's affecting your system is coming frm your vanilla
distribution's packages (most likely).
[Post the log somewhere and we can have a look anyway incase it's something simple]
Greetings,
I have managed, after reading the forums thoroughly, to get the Graphics Installer to install my xserver-xorg-video-intel. Now it just won't activate no matter what I do.
I have installed the NoobsLab.com Device driver manager, and the driver shows up as 'recommended', but always the second option xserver-xorg-video-fbdev is active. I can 'activate' the intel driver, but after it reboots, it reverts to the fbdev driver, and hence I get no hardware acceleration.
Asus Sabretooth Z87
Intel i7 4770K

EDIT:
The following is installed according to Synaptic. All latest versions.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Kind Regards,
Shaun.
