I too had the wierd problem of vertical black and white bars appearing when
I was using ubuntu and firefox.

I used the above driver and installed the xserver-xorg-video-intel package.

I was using xfce environment when I was installing this package. Then I
restart the system.

I could see the difference from the ubuntu splash screen itself. It looked
very clear and nice.

Now, I am using gnome session and it works fine. I had the same problem when
I was using firefox. So, I am using firefox again to check whether the same
problem occurs again.
