Title:
  Graphics Slow After Upgrade 14.04 - 14.10

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Using Gnome Ubuntu 14.10, Dell XPS 13, intel 915 Graphics

  After upgrading from 14.04 to 14.10 there are a lot of places where
  the graphics are working much slower than they were before:

  - Gnome Shell Interface is very sluggish, visible "chops" (redrawing)
  when pressing the [Super] key.

  - Selecting text in Gedit takes a full second pr. line

  Experiences some subjective improvement when I booted kernel 3.13.0-37
  instead of 3.16.0-23, but that may be my imagination as the problem
  persists.

  I've searched google, forums, found a couple of relevant links that
  point to the issue being the Intel drivers.

      http://askubuntu.com/questions/53962...E2%86%92-14-10
      http://www.webupd8.org/2014/10/ubunt...ent-1652086424

  But the drivers currently in 14.10 should be newer than those supplied
  by Intel to 14.04 so that doesn't make sense to me. As one Intel
  developer wrote:

  "I would like to point out that since what we do is bring more ecent
  versions of the software to the target distributions than they ship
  with, a 14.04 targeted installer is unlikely to bring much to a 14.10
  installation, which most likely has the same or more recent versions
  already anyway."
