To my great disappointment the screen display is not as it should be. For example, a playing card instead of being rectangular is square. When I have had similar problems with Windows I have dealt with things quite adequately by installing drivers which came with the motherboard. On checking the CD for this MB there is a folder labeled LiuxDrivers and inside the folder is a text file which reads:- Note: Please update to the latest Linux Kernel for motherboard chipset and components support. Now I am puzzled, I assumed that I had the latest Linux Kernel installed but perhaps I haven't. What would be the best way of getting this problem sorted out, please?

Even though I have only one monitor, ubuntu made default a second fake one with small resolution so I had to switch the default to my real one! See if the same applies to you.
