In Linux most drivers come with Linux itself and don't require installation. See if ubuntu has some 3rd party drivers available: connect to the Internet and go to System -> Administration -> Additional drivers.
It may suggest some ATI or Nvidia drivers.
Otherwise, tell us what video controller you have there.
