From what I can tell, my graphics card driver needs updating (for WebGL support). What is the process to do this?

The details of my graphics card are as follows:

Adapter Description: Intel Open Source Technology Center - Mesa DRI Intel(R) Q35 x86/MMX/SSE2
Vendor ID: Intel Open Source Technology Center
Device ID: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Q35 x86/MMX/SSE2
Driver Version: 1.4 Mesa 9.0

I am running 32-bit Ubuntu 12.10.

The best way to get more up to date drivers is to upgrade your Ubuntu installation (12.10 - which has reached end of life (EOL) in July 2013) to something more recent. 14.04 is the current "Long Term Support" (LTS) release. I would recommend you to upgrade to that version, unless you require some more "bleeding edge" packages. I don't think you can upgrade to Ubuntu 13.04, which has also reached EOL in January 2014. I think your only option is a full reinstall. This guide may help you if you are new to installing Ubuntu. Don't forget to backup your data.

A solution was posted for intel gma 3150 with ubuntu 10.10 here. I think it should work on your card too.

Make sure graphics card drivers are installed

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel

Enable WebGl and openGl using driconf

sudo  apt-get install driconf

Open driconf and turn Enable limited ARB_fragment_shader support on 915/945 from No to Yes
