This is an odd response, to me. I could be wrong, but it looks like the hardware is communicating with your drivers in the most simplistic way possible.
Let me go a bit deeper... The Computer / OS you are using communicates with certain hardware, rather than totally governing them.
If there is any language barrier, then that communication becomes less effective.
The hardware for many devices is built with Windows in mind. Windows is the Dominant OS, by far. And the older your machine, the less supportive those hardware companies have been toward Linux.
In the recent years gone by, this has improved. But pick up a notebook from around 2001 or 2004... and you will see hardware manufacturers not giving two cents of thought toward Linux, at all.
HP is known as one of those.
There are others who have been far more supportive of Linux even early on, too. Panasonic /Sony for example.
That result of "Default" and "0mm" concerns me.
The hardware should be communicating exacting specs- and since it is not, then the system must assume a value. A generic value. This would mean that it will never matter what Drivers You install- if the Hardware is speaking Greek, then no current drivers can effectively talk to it.
Windows OS can, as a non-Unix-like OS, as the hardware was built and programmed in order to be able to communicate with Windows.
