GL_VENDOR shows VMware, Inc. Should have shown Intel ?

When I installed 10.04 I had problems with screen flickering. It was solved by using a newer kernel than the one that was used in 10.04. It might be that some settings are left because of this, I am not sure... During upgrade I told the system to use newer config-files, and only wipe those that I had 100% control over (mysql, apache), so I believe most of the old settings should be out.

Please do guide me to find a solution for this.

I have a feeling that these problems could have something to do with the fact that I had xorg.edgers.ppa in use in 10.04. This due to the fact that my screen flickered like you would not believe. I also had to run a .999 kernel. (28 I believe)

Now when trying to fix the problem I am getting this in xsession-errors:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64

So I need a way to clean up the broken packages problem it seems.

Any help welcomed :)

I ran the following commands and now things seems to have been fixed.
Seems that it is very important to remove xorg-edgers and the installed packages correctly prior to upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04.
Would it be possible for the upgrade software/code to check for installation of xorg-edgers

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
sudo apt-cache policy
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers
sudo pico /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-libc-dev
cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
rm xorg-edgers-ppa-precise.list
sudo rm xorg-edgers-ppa-precise.list
sudo apt-get update

I used what was described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1377819
I have not followed the
reinstall of ubuntu-minimal, standard or desktop. Maybe I should?

It shouldn't show Intel. It should show VMware. Your GL_RENDERER is the Gallium3D library. Gallium3D is maintained by VMware.[*]
