I installed Ubuntu 16.04 on my HP Proliant Gen8 but now I can only select 1280x1024 display resolution - but when I used the Live-System I could select more of them.

So I guess there is a problem with the display driver but I could not find the issue.

In Xorg.0.log I found "Failed to load module "mga" (module does not exist, 0)" but I have no idea how to fix this.

xrandr

I solved the issue by manually installing the xserver-xorg-video-mga package.

sudo apt install xserver-xorg-video-mga
