Strange Graphical Issues (Intel GPU + linux)

I’m having some strange graphical issues (images below)

Layout all the vectors went crazy

Application: kicad
Version: 4.0.2+dfsg1-stable release build
wxWidgets: Version 3.0.2 (debug,wchar_t,compiler with C++ ABI 1009,GCC 5.3.1,wx containers,compatible with 2.8)
Platform: Linux 4.8.0-36-generic x86_64, 64 bit, Little endian, wxGTK
Boost version: 1.58.0
USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT=OFF
USE_WX_OVERLAY=OFF
KICAD_SCRIPTING=ON
KICAD_SCRIPTING_MODULES=ON
KICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON=ON
USE_FP_LIB_TABLE=HARD_CODED_ON
BUILD_GITHUB_PLUGIN=OFF

machinehum@WalkerLovesYou:~$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)

I have also tried the steps outlined here

If it were me, I’d update to 4.0.6. If that doesn’t fix it, report back and we can try to figure it out with you.

On the kicad.org page it says:
"A solution is to configure Xorg. Create a Xorg configuration file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf, with the follow information:

Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
   Driver      "intel"
 EndSection

"

In addition to that i reconfigured the X-server (under Ubuntu by):

 sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
