After messing around with some PPAs in an attempt to upgrade the Mesa drivers under Linux Mint 17.3 KDE on my Lenovo Ideapad, I managed to seemingly bring everything back to working order. Now, however, whenever I try running an OpenGL program, I get output like this:
$ glxgears
libGL error: pci id for fd 4: 8086:1916, driver (null)
i965_dri.so does not support the 0x1916 PCI ID.
libGL error: failed to create dri screen
libGL error: failed to load driver: i965
and upon quitting, something like this (or an unusual segfault, with my own allegro-related projects):
XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0"
after 13936 requests (13934 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
while the program, apparently, runs normally. (Except, glxgears doesn't seem to be capping itself at 60fps anymore, which it did earlier.)
Here's some hopefully relevant output:

EDIT: lspci -v reveals that the "Kernel driver in use" is "i915_bpo". Should this be i965 instead?

EDIT: Virtually every GL-related application has been misbehaving in some way or another; GIMP, especially. These are definitely not the drivers I had earlier. ppa-purge was also unhelpful, although I've long since manually deleted the ppa files.
