I have an old PC, with Ubuntu 16.04 installed new (fresh install). Since it displays only 1280x1024 on a HD display, my first guess goes to display driver issue.
Looking at the MSI website yielded a guess this is my MSI motherboard.
How can I get display drivers for Ubuntu? On that site there are only drivers for Windows OS.
