After reading this page https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/81523
/Graphics-Drivers-for-Intel-82Q963-Graphics-and-Memory-Controller-Hub-
GMCH-, I see that latest official drivers from Intel date from august
2013.

Possible workarounds:

- Keep on using Linux and have to reboot every few hours to see text ok
- Install Windows, even though I prefer Linux.
- Buy another computer. (I don't like to do so, in an otherwise good working computer).
- Try to use another driver.  Which one?

$ lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
i915                  783805  2 
video                  19476  1 i915                                                                                                

I think the used driver is i915.
