I have an old computer that ran on windows vista, and after finding it in my basement, I decided to put it on Windows 10, but it couldn't handle Windows 10, so I switched it to Ubuntu yesterday since I have experience with it.

The problem I have is the monitor I have is 1. old and doesn't have windows 10 drivers, and 2. The drivers are running on .exe, which Linux doesn't seem to recognize, even on the system and updates application. Is there any way I can run these drivers on Ubuntu? I can't stand this aspect ratio.

This is the driver: 

xrandr xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Screen 0: minimum 1024 x 768, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768 default connected primary 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1024x768 76.00* 1366x768_60.00 (0x3b8) 85.250MHz -HSync +VSync h: width 1368 start 1440 end 1576 total 1784 skew 0 clock 47.79KHz v: height 768 start 771 end 781 total 798 clock 59.88Hz 1368x768_60.00 (0x3be) 85.250MHz -HSync +VSync h: width 1368 start 1440 end 1576 total 1784 skew 0 clock 47.79KHz v: height 768 start 771 end 781 total 798 clock 59.88Hz
