I have installed Linux Mint version 18 on my PC. In the past, I have been able to get the desktop to launch by typing
startx
at the terminal. After I did a few upgrades, this command stopped working. I get an error message
modprobe: FATAL: Module i915 not found in directory /lib/modules/4.4.0-145-generic
Fatal server error: (EE) no screens found (EE)
I am not sure what this means. I browsed the web and I guess it has something to do with the Intel Graphics driver.

i915 is one of the kernel modules for the Intel Graphics. There have been changes in what kernel module was preferred for certain hardware, so likely your "few upgrades" broke a configuration somewhere. 1) Make sure to install the newest kernel. 2) Remove anyxorg.conf(probably in/etc/X11, but I'm not that familiar with Mint). If you have it customized, create a new one, with the current preferred driver. 3) In doubt, look at/var/log/Xorg.0.log, for details about what X is trying to do, and why it fails.
