Intel graphics driver?
(lemmy.ml)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The drivers should be built into the kernel already if you're using onboard Intel graphics.
The system might be loading the wrong driver module for its chipset—unlikely, but possible. The correct driver for your chipset should be i915. You can check by running
lspci -v
and finding theKernel driver in use
line for your video card. (There may be other ways of checking as well.)Personally, if this computer will normally be operating in headless mode, I'd just ignore this altogether, disconnect the monitor, and administer it via SSH from a machine not having these issues.
