I know my Ubuntu version is very old, but there are some reasons that I cannot upgrade, so is there still a solution for this?

My main goal is to increase the resolution of my laptop to 1280x800 which is the resolution I get when running Windows OS on it.

Welcome to the Forums Xybrek !

I know my Ubuntu version is very old, but there are some reasons that I cannot upgrade, so is there still a solution for this?

May we know the reasons due to which you can't upgrade? Maybe solving those problems could be easier than working on an outdated system.

By the way, most Intel cards are supported by i915 driver, so please post back the outputs of :

lspci -nn | grep VGA
modinfo i915
