Public bug reported: This is a fresh install of Xubuntu 17.10. The OS is stuck at 640x480 resolution, this happened since the first boot. I researched and found in forums that xdiagnose provides a workaround by deactivating some graphics at boot, so I installed it and it worked, however, just as a workaround. I can change the resolution now, but the size of apps sometimes takes way more screen space than it should, and the screen flickers randomly. By selecting "inform errors" in xdiagnose I got a pop up message saying the computer is providing 3D by software instead of hardware, I don't know how to fix this, any guidance? Let me know if you need more information.
