Experiencing major issues on graphic displays
Sophia Terry 
Since installing Ubuntu 12.04, I am experiencing low performance on graphic programs, including video playbacks, etc.
As I have checked the intel driver of mine is already at its latest version. It's really occuring meanwhile playback of videos or web-flash videos (youtube, etc) OS is being logged out automatically and just display an error reporting of Xorg windows for me. I can not actually playback hd videos with the normal frame rate as well. here are some initiation of my graphic card details :

Follow these steps precisely!
Run following command in terminal and
tickall check boxes under Ubuntu Software and Updates tabs. If already ticked then leave it.sudo software-properties-gtkthen update your repository:
sudo apt-get updateInstall
Linux Kernel 3.8.0by selecting following packages inSynaptic:linux-generic-lts-raring linux-headers-3.8.0-30 linux-headers-3.8.0-30-generic linux-headers-generic-lts-raring linux-image-3.8.0-30-generic linux-image-generic-lts-raringyou can also install
Kernel 3.8.xby executing following command:sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-raring linux-headers-3.8.0-30 linux-headers-3.8.0-30-generic linux-headers-generic-lts-raring linux-image-3.8.0-30-generic linux-image-generic-lts-raringOnce installed execute following command to update-grub and reboot your system(be sure to select
Kernel 3.8.0.30from your grub menu):sudo update-grub && sudo rebootBefore trying to 3rd step I just want you to try 4th step. If it fixes your problem then no need to install latest
Xserver-Xorgpackages so you can skip 3rd step.Install all
-lts-raringpackages forXserver-Xorgusing following command:sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-lts-raring libxatracker1-lts-raring xserver-xorg-core-lts-raring xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-raring xserver-xorg-input-evdev-lts-raring xserver-xorg-input-mouse-lts-raring xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-lts-raring xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse-lts-raring xserver-xorg-input-wacom-lts-raring xserver-xorg-lts-raring xserver-xorg-video-all-lts-raring xserver-xorg-video-ati-lts-raring xserver-xorg-video-cirrus-lts-raring xserver-xorg-video-fbdev-lts-raring xserver-xorg-video-intel-lts-raring xserver-xorg-video-mach64-lts-raring xserver-xorg-video-mga-lts-raring xserver-xorg-video-modesetting-lts-raring xserver-xorg-video-neomagic-lts-raring xserver-xorg-video-nouveau-lts-raring xserver-xorg-video-openchrome-lts-raring xserver-xorg-video-r128-lts-raring xserver-xorg-video-radeon-lts-raring xserver-xorg-video-s3-lts-raring xserver-xorg-video-savage-lts-raring xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion-lts-raring xserver-xorg-video-sis-lts-raring xserver-xorg-video-sisusb-lts-raring xserver-xorg-video-tdfx-lts-raring xserver-xorg-video-trident-lts-raring xserver-xorg-video-vesa-lts-raring xserver-xorg-video-vmware-lts-raring libxrandr-ltsq2 x11-xserver-utils-lts-raring xserver-common-lts-raringWhy this list is so long because I ensure that you install all
lts-raringpackages forxserver-xorg. I recommend you to copy and paste it in terminal. It will remove already installed Xserver-Xorg packages which was meant for previous kernel. so pressywhen it prompts to remove such packages.. Run this command to ensure you installed all:sudo apt-get install --install-recommends xserver-xorg-lts-raringNow execute following commands:
sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get autoclean sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a sudo dpkg-reconfigure $(dpkg -l | awk '{print $2}' | grep "^xserver" | tr '\n' ' ')If last step shows some error, then execute these commands
sudo apt-get -f install,sudo apt-get --purge remove,sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean.Then again try to run the command that gives you error. If still it gives you the same error then replace that command with this one:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure $(dpkg -l | awk '{print $2}' | grep 'lts-raring' | tr '\n' ' ').Then continue to next:
sudo update-initramfs -uThen restart your system again:
sudo rebootAfter reboot your system should work great.
A short description of all steps mentioned above:
1st Step ensures that you'll able to download lts-raring packages.
In 2nd step you are installing a good stable kernel for your system, you are using so old kernel: 3.2.x.
3rd Step will install Xserver-Xorg packages including graphics card driver which is best supported by Kernel 3.8.0
4th Step is used to re-configure the packages installed in your system to latest kernel just you installed.
It is not that much tough, I did it without any problem. And my system works great now! If you get any problem or error at any particular step, just reply mentioning that command with the error. I'll be waiting for your reply..
