You can install a driver, but you will need to downgrade the graphical stack to support the driver.
Run in terminal
You will be asked to agree to remove lots of packages and install lots too. You will need to agree with that.
Reboot.
If the procedure was OK, then proceed. You will need to install some packages and build the driver.
Run in terminal (one-by-one).
Reboot again. You will be able to set 1280x800 resolution.
There may be issues with running videos. If you meet any, let me know. I will try to remember how they are fixed.
Don't be worried with funny things happening with the splash screen with Ubuntu logo at boot and shutdown. It is OK.
Do not upgrade the system to 14.04. There is no way to get the graphics adapter work properly on new Ubuntu versions.
You may also meet a problem with video playback. In this case run
and switch output to X11.
If you are using VLC, you will need to switch output in VLC settings.

I have an old Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile V5535, over the past 8 years I tried many times to install the latest Ubuntu version on it but I always had the same problem, the graphics card driver is not available and the screen resolution is too small and whenever I try to play a video Ubuntu freezes.
About a week ago I read a topic about a solution to install the driver, but they said it only works for versions before 14.04. But I want to install 17.04 is there a way to do it? and how to play videos without UBUNTU freezing?
Please help ASAP. Thank you

The SiS graphics adapter installed in that laptop is obsolete. It is not supported by modern Xorg drivers because of hardware limitations.
I have this laptop. You can't use any modern OS on it including Windows. The last Windows version that works with normal screen resolution is Vista.
So there is no way to get a proper screen resolution on this laptop with any new Ubuntu release. The last one that worked was 12.04.2, or 12.04.1.
You can use 12.04, or use this laptop as a server, router, etc. with a new version of Ubuntu.
