As soon as the tool finishes installing the drivers, close it and reboot your Linux PC. When you load it up, youâll have the absolute latest Intel video drivers in Ubuntu. Installing Other Intel Drivers. After installing the video drivers to Ubuntu, you may still be missing a driver or two.
Intel has started laying the groundwork for Linux support of its upcoming dedicated GPUs, and given the timing, Intel is sending a subtle message that Linux won't be a second-class citizen when it comes to drivers.
This may be common practice for Intel, but the company is starting to get very vocal about it, primarily through its new Intel Graphics account on Twitter.
I wrote earlier about Intel internally acknowledging that there's a mountain to climb when it comes to engaging and understanding the enthusiast gaming community. To that end, Intel has ramped up its efforts to gather constructive feedback, and it's constructing bridges into the future by establishing a more confident understanding of what gamers really want. Not the gamer who buys a cheap desktop or laptop and happily plays undemanding titles like League of Legends with integrated graphics. The kind of gamer who's on the bleeding edge with 144Hz displays and high-end GPUs, and understands the importance behind TFLOPS and memory bandwidth.

Intel's also increased its cadence of driver releases for integrated graphics products, reminding would-be consumers of its upcoming dedicated cards that it can go toe-to-toe with AMD and Nvidia in that space.
A patch with 4000 lines of code may be boring on the surface, but it paints an appealing picture of gaming and professional graphics support on Linux, and that's something I won't turn down.

Until now Intel doesn't offer support for Ubuntu 17.10. I'm using updated drivers from
ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
with 2 external monitors, so far without any problems on integrated graphic:
You can install Updated and Optimized Open Graphics Drivers from PPA repository:
TombartTombart
Just change temporarily
/etc/lsb-release
to correspond to Zesty Zapus, it will work fine.
First, make backup
Then edit the file
Replace contents with:
When you are done installing the tool and the drivers, simply revert the changes:

Up to now Intel haven't provided a graphics driver for 17.10, the latest version of the Intel graphics update tool for Linux is v2.0.6 for Ubuntu 17.04 and this software obviously doesn't work for Ubuntu 17.10.
