So this morning I was informed of the 14.04 LTS release and asked if I wanted to upgrade. I performed the upgrade process and all went fine, but when I checked the video drivers after the upgrade was complete I saw "Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.4, 256 bits)" instead of the normal "Intel Sandybridge Mobile".



Naturally of course the XOrg website shows that the Linux-Intel-Grphics-Installer is not yet updated for the 14.04 release.



Is there any way for me to get my proper drivers working, or am I stuck waiting until Intel decides to release the updated installer? It took them months for the 13.10 release, so I'm hoping for something faster.



Update:
Looks like the problem is that when the XServer starts up it attempts to load the intel module but that fails so it reverts back to the Gallium.



From my XOrg.0.log



 [    25.073] Loading extension GLX
[ 25.073] (II) LoadModule: "intel"
[ 25.073] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module intel

[ 25.073] (II) Unloading intel

[ 25.074] (II) Unloading intel

So if anyone can give me a hint as to why XServer can't load this, or why it says it doesn't exist that would be nice. I was led to believe that there are Intel drivers in the actual Ubuntu releases.

I have figured out the problem. Apparently something didn't upgrade correctly for the xserver-xorg-video-intel packages.



So I followed the selected answer of this package How reinstall the default graphics drivers? which fixed the problem.



Basically I reinstalled the packages and restarted the computer (it should be noted that the final terminal call unity --restart is deprecated, so I simply restarted the computer). Once reinstalled and restarted the Sandybridge was visible in my System Settings-->Details section and my FPS returned to normal.
