I keep receiving a crash report and when I view the details it says xserver-xorg-video-intel not installed.
I receive this crash report constantly. 5-10 times in a row. It is very annoying and I need to find a way to stop this. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 clean install.



If I try to install (sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel), it says



Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xserver-xorg-video-intel : Depends: xorg-video-abi-11
Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.10.99.901)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

There is a graphics gui by intel for download.



sudo apt-get install intel-linux-graphics-installer


However, it is for the 32bit system but if you install on a 64, your touchpad mouse will become unresponsive.
You can then do



sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade


This fixed the xserver crashes and the mouse wasn't disabled after every reboot. If your mouse is disabled, do



sudo modprobe -r psmouse
sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps


But after re-downloading from the ppa, the issue resolved with the touchpad.
