Hi Christopher,
The bios has been upgraded to the latest one available, v2.20 from Tobshiba, and the problem with the video driver continues. In fact, today it seems to be very frequent, more than with the old bios, though only in Firefox so far.
I believe I followed your instructions correctly in terms of updating the file. If anything else is needed, please let me know.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Jonathan Tigner, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better.
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.
Also, you don't have to create a new bug report.
Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible:
1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect):
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not.
3) Please mark this report Status Confirmed.
If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid.
Thank you for your understanding.

Bug description:
I would like to report a problem with my video driver. While using
both LibreOffice Writer and Firefox, Ihave had occasions when the
screen went wonky with horizontal lines running across such that the
screen was not readable. The problem seems to correct itself if I
switch programs using the Launcher and then return to the problem
application.
I am running 32 bit Ubuntu15.10 on a Toshiba NB200 with a Intel® Atom™
CPU N280 @ 1.66GHz × 2 processer,, 2 gig of RAM and Intel® 945GME
x86/MMX/SSE2 graphics.
