What graphics card do you have?

lspci | grep VGA

The '|' is a pipe directive. It feeds the output of the 1st command to the input of the 2nd command.

lspci | grep VGA --- looks for the string 'VGA' in the output of lspci and prints only those lines that match the string search. lspci outputs many lines of data regarding the system devices.

You can just copy-paste it into the terminal. Just remember that the terminal needs an additional Shift (i.e. Ctrl+Shift+v for paste) if using keyboard shortcuts.

Do you mean the boot screen is in low-res?

If that is problem


sudo apt-get install startupmanagerIt will be in Administration and you can change it to 4 or 5 different ones there.

If you can only boot in low-res to you have to start looking into card and drivers issues. Follow previous advice.
This below will give you all your cards and drivers just save it somewhere so you always have it handy.

lspci -v | less
