Public bug reported:
What i exptected to happen:
Install Lubuntu 17.10 and have no problems with video drivers
What happened instead:
Freshly installed Lubuntu 17.10 has problems with video drivers. Especifying
nomodeset makes it usable but it's not optimal and the max resolution i'm
getting is 800x600.
Whenever I install Lubuntu and try to get to the desktop, there is an
about 80% of the screen that is black, and the remaining 20% is normal.
I don't know if it is because of the driver, but
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel
[sudo] password for freddy:

xserver-xorg-video-intel is already the newest version
(2:2.99.917+git20170309-0ubuntu1).
xserver-xorg-video-intel set to manually installed.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
This tells me that supposedly the driver is installed.
This is the output of lscpci -v that shows the part of the video
chipset:

I just want my video to work ok. I installed the Intel microcode
propietary driver and it doesnt seem to work either. I have to hard
power down the pc because the reboot button that i can see in the 20% of
the screen that is viewable doesnt work at all. I'm using the latest
lubuntu, 17.10.
