    For a notebook you should search for notebook graphic drivers and not desktop graphic drivers .
    Your graphic card is the AMD ATI not the Intel , check the link in the bottom .
    Kali is a debian distribution , i am not sure Ubuntu is the best choice , however , Ubuntu is also a debian distribution .

    Check out this package and install it :
    http://support.amd.com/en-us/downloa...Linux%20x86_64

    Goto Drivers download page :
    -Notebook Graphic
    -Radeon HD
    -Radeon HD 8xxxM series
    -Linux x86_64

    and then press display results .

    also give a look at this page :
