Graphics card drivers
Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc, will install or offer to install the latest stable version of your graphics card driver for you.
If you are using a different Linux distribution and it does not automatically install an optimised graphics card driver for your graphics card then you can install one manually.
NVIDIA: http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
AMD/ATI: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx
Intel: http://www.intel.com/p/en_UK/support/graphics/
Each of these web sites have Linux drivers for their laptop and desktop computers' graphics cards. Documentation regarding their installation will be included with the driver.
