---------------------------------------------------
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:

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 (The drivers in 14.04 are woefully out of date.)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
