I’m trying to install a driver for my intel motherboard, which has integrated video (which I’m trying to fix). After a WHILE of searching, I finally found THE driver for the chipset… but now what do I do with it? It’s just a folder with a bunch of files in it, and I’m completely lost as to what to do next. I HAVE searched google and whatnot, but I’m a complete Linux noob, so I don’t really understand what they’re saying.

So… what do I do to install it?  
I’m also running on Ubuntu…

I double clicked on the install.sh file, and the terminal popped up and closed right away… I’m soo confused.
