Video Distortion on Ubuntu

I've placed the information on Ubuntu since it occurred while I was updating that distro: http://askubuntu.com/questions/529124/ubuntu-14-04-lts-under-parallels-graphic-distortion-after-update

Specs:
Hardware:

SOFTWARE:

 - Parallels Version 10.0.2 (27712)
 - Distributor ID:  Ubuntu

              ° Release:    14.04
              ° Codename:   trusty
---------------------------------------------------
When updating Ubuntu with Software Update, at some point some software is giving the unit video distortion.

It seems after a couple of rebuilds of Ubuntu and running Software Update, that the issue comes from:

Software Update:
Ubuntu base
Xorg X server - core server

Please reproduce with upstream packages prior to filing an upstream bug. (The drivers in 14.04 are woefully out of date.) The right place for an initial sighting is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+filebug
