Ah.. I just saw your other posts... I see you fixed it. My issue wasn't when I upgraded to 16.04. It was while on 16.04 it did a small kernel update and neglected to include the "extras" package related to that new kernel. On 17 October 2016 at 07:46, Tim Tisdall <tisdall@gmail.com> wrote:
What screen resolutions are available to switch to? Perhaps the driver for your video card isn't properly installed or working?
You could try going to Settings > Software & Updates > Additional Drivers and checking if there's a driver for your video card that's not currently being used.

On the off chance anyone else is using Ubuntu 16.04 ...
This morning I found my computer barely usable because of a kernel update yesterday. My screen resolution was reduced to the minimum, mouse and track pad didn't work, and no wifi. After some searching online, I found that the issue was the update failed to install the "extra" package.
You can check if this is your problem by running ` dpkg --list "*4.4.0-43*" ` and seeing if you're missing the "linux-image-extra" package. If so, then you can run "sudo apt-get install linux-image-extra-4.4.0-43-generic" to fix it.
I have the same problem after the update. :(
Just screen resolution, though. Mouse fine.
I do have the package installed :( :(
I tried upgrading to 16.10. No joy :( :( :( :(
