Hi David,

I just paid attention to the subject and notice you are looking for
driver for GMA 3150. I'm not sure, but I'm afraid this platform doesn't
have the GPU supported by our open source driver.

Probably the GMA 3150 will be in the same bucket as GMA 3600 series and
the official statement is at 
https://01.org/linuxgraphics/documentation/faq

But to confirm if your gpu is supported by our open source driver, grab
the pci id using

lspci -ns 0000:00:02.0 | awk -F: '{ print $4 }'

and check if these 4 number code is present at:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm-intel/tree/include/drm/i915_pciids.h

There is no generic "raw" driver you could just install.

But if your platform is really supported by our driver you have some
alternatives:

1. Get stable source code from https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/2
015q2-intel-graphics-stack-release

and build your self following:
https://01.org/linuxgraphics/documentation/build-guide-0

2. Get development code from
https://01.org/linuxgraphics/documentation/development/source-code

and build your self following:
https://01.org/linuxgraphics/documentation/build-guide-0

3. At your own risk get a community development packaging 
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-nightly/
