Installation Troubleshooting Wizard for Intel® Graphics Drivers. Use this step-by-step wizard to help you with issues that may occur when trying to install the graphics driver for your Intel® Integrated Graphics. The libva-intel-driver package only provides hardware accelerated MPEG-2 decoding for GMA 4500 series GPUs. The H.264 decoding support is maintained in a separated g45-h264 branch, which can be used by installing libva-intel-driver-g45-h264 AUR package. Note however that this support is experimental and its development has been abandoned.

Until now Intel doesn't offer support for Ubuntu 17.10. I'm using updated drivers from ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers with 2 external monitors, so far without any problems on integrated graphic:
You can install Updated and Optimized Open Graphics Drivers from PPA repository:
Just change temporarily /etc/lsb-release to correspond to Zesty Zapus, it will work fine.
First, make backup
Then edit the file
Replace contents with:
When you are done installing the tool and the drivers, simply revert the changes:
ZannaUp to now Intel haven't provided a graphics driver for 17.10, the latest version of the Intel graphics update tool for Linux is v2.0.6 for Ubuntu 17.04 and this software obviously doesn't work for Ubuntu 17.10.

Following the recent hype of Intel's Windows graphics driver introducing integer mode scaling support, their open-source Linux graphics driver is receiving similar treatment with nearest-neighbor integer scaling support.The nearest-neighbor integer mode scaling support aims to provide better clarity to images when upscaled from say 1280 x 720 to 3840 x 2160 (or any other integer multiple of the original source image) compared to other scaling techniques. The integer scaling mode is particularly useful for pixel art video games that can otherwise lose their sharp edges when upscaled.
Those wanting to learn more about Intel's integer scaling support can do so via software.intel.com where they detail their Windows implementation and also provide some screenshots with/without integer scaling.
Volleyed today by Intel's open-source graphics driver developers were the experimental patches for nearest-neighbor integer mode scaling support. With just over 130 lines of new code, the Intel i915 DRM Linux kernel driver is wired up to support this nearest-neighbor mode when the up-scaling ratio is an integer. Important to note, however, is that this integer scaling support is limited to Icelake 'Gen 11' graphics and newer.
