Bug Description

I've been experiencing brightness control issues and I ended up "upgrading" my graphics driver through Intel Graphics Update Tool for Linux https://01.org/linuxgraphics. Running their application setback my graphics driver (previously Intel Ivybridge) to Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.8, 256 bits). I've tried several solutions I found on askubuntu and other forums, but nothing seems to work. Fortunately I stumbled upon your xdiagnose tool and tried running it. It seems my system is not using hardware acceleration.
I'll be happy to share any additional information you might need for solving this. I'm including some of my commands from bash_history in a file.
I'm running Ubuntu LTS 16.04. Output to $ apt-cache policy xorg:

Thank you.
