This bug is marked as "Won't Fix" because it won't be fixed. xserver-xorg-video-intel is old and should not be used anymore. The default built-in driver (called 'modesetting') should be used instead.

I'm not sure how safe it would be to remove xserver-xorg-video-intel from the Ubuntu archive because people upgrading from older releases where it was the only driver, might still have config files that depend on it. Not being able to find the driver specified in your config file would cause bigger issues than just "visual artifacts", like not being able to log in.
