Description:
Conditions to work

The graphique card does not work with the latest native configuration and upgrades you have to add an external ppa so beware it's not an official ppa but I looked at it and it seems that there is no non-free software in the ppa

Instructions

Here's the url of the ppa [a]https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers[/a]

The ppa to add

ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers

To add the ppa

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers

Then update your package list

sudo apt-get update

Once the list is updated you just need to install the paquet xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

Details of the paquet upgrade

xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (1.0.10-1ubuntu2 => 1.0.12+git1603170734.b824d3~gd~t)
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

Or you could just do a upgrade

sudo apt-get upgrade
note:

you can simulate the installation and have the details of the paquets that needs to be upgraded by adding the option (-V -s) with apt-get (sudo apt-get -V -s upgrade)

sudo lspci -vnnk
