You don't need to install any drivers for Intel HD Graphics.

Please open Terminal from the menu, run this command, and post the output:

Code: Select all

inxi -Gx

The driver is fine. What problems are you having with games? Are you sure the games aren't just too heavy for your computer?

Many textures are black. I played this games in ubuntu, so it's not heavy.
