Intel Graphics driver issue

[vacunita]

I have a computer running Ubuntu 14.04 that seems to have an issue loading the intel graphics driver.

Computer Info:
Hp Compaq 4000 Pro
Graphics: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller
Monitor: Apple Computer Inc. 23 Inch monitor. (correctly identified)

When running LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p I get the following:

libGL: screen 0 does not appear to be DRI3 capable
libGL: pci id for fd 4: 8086:2e42, driver i965
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/tls/i965_dri.so
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_dri.so
[b][intel_init_bufmgr:1062] Error initializing buffer manager.
libGL error: failed to create dri screen
libGL error: failed to load driver: i965[/b]
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/tls/swrast_dri.so
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/swrast_dri.so
OpenGL vendor string:   VMware, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.5, 128 bits)
OpenGL version string:  3.0 Mesa 10.4.0-devel

Not software rendered:    no
Not blacklisted:          yes
GLX fbconfig:             yes
GLX texture from pixmap:  yes
GL npot or rect textures: yes
GL vertex program:        yes
GL fragment program:      yes
GL vertex buffer object:  yes
GL framebuffer object:    yes
GL version is 1.4+:       yes

Unity 3D supported:       no

The loaded driver: Gallium is extremely unstable and causes lots of graphical glitches and general slowness.

I have run Intel's own Graphic Installer for Linux and it appears to update, and add things, but the driver simply never loads.

The strange thing, is there is another computer with the same Video card, and it loads the i965 driver just fine and all is functional.


Any ideas what I can do to get this to work?

Really no ideas?

The way I read it, LibGL tried to load i965_dri.so from two locations, and failed.
Does the .so file exist at either location?
Is it mangled somehow?
Is it similar to the same file on the other machine?

I.e., it smells to me like the driver binary is just flat missing, or misplaced.

The file exists in both places. That's what I though at first too, so I created the tls dir there and placed a copy of the file form another machine where it is working and still it would not load.
