Open a terminal and type in the commands. Keep in mind that Linux is case-sensitive, so you have to type in the commands with lower-case letters.
Since the output of those commands, especially the
Code:
lsmod
command, is rather lengthy it is advisable to put that output into code-tags to make it more readable and preserve the format.
To do that you either go to the advanced editor (Go Advanced-button below the Quick Reply-box), copy in the output of the commands, mark it and press the #-button above the text-box to enclose it in code-tags. You can also do it manually with writing out the code-tags and copy the output between them.
For example, the lsmod you can see in this post inside the code-box looks like this in the editor: [code]lsmod[/code]
I fixed those code-tags for you, they have to enclose the code.
But anyways, as we can see the i915 driver and the dependencies for this driver are loaded, so the machine should work as intended. Do you get the low-graphics-mode warning every time?

Rep:
Most likely at this point that it's a problem with xrander and defined screen settings...
See if you can go into the control panel setup app, and change resolution there...
Report back if your resolution is available and not default, or unavailable at all...
Also attempt another resolution. (it should revert if unavailable) and report that status...
