Ubuntu display issues used to be common. In version 4, they had me 'wrestle'
for the highest resolution. I am not surprised that you still have some with
version 5 (6 is on it's way, just wait a fortnight).
One thing to do is check video settings in your BIOS. In some machines, these
need to be changed. Just be careful. More usefully, you may find the
following discussion helpful:

You may also wish to use a Web-based tool called Cola (not COLA)
Modeline-Generator.
Hope it helps,
Roy
