I am trying to update my graphics driver by running:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel

But I keep getting this message:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xserver-xorg-video-intel : Depends: xorg-video-abi-11
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

When I run:

sudo apt-get install -f

Nothing happens, because the program doesn't even get half way to installing.

I am running Lubuntu 12.04 on a HP Mini 110 netbook. I have tried changing to several different ppa's but that doesn't work.

I want to update my driver so that my mouse stops flickering and ScummVM stops flickering every minute.
