I am facing dispay issues I will be really grateful if you can share me various trouble shooters/changes in varius files that I need to perform in order to run kali linux smoothly in on my laptop.

I seached alot on google about how to install Kali Linux on a laptop which has iris XE dedicated graphic card but all showed result about nvidia card nothing about the 12th gen processor with dedicated iris graphic card.

Problems I am facing :
Display is looking like windows XP (maybe it has something to with the resolution or my graphic card)
Backlit keyboard is not working

My Laptop Specs are :
i5 12th gen with intel's new dedicated iris graphic
16 GB ram 512 GB SSD

My Laptops's model number is : hp pavilion eg2035tu

I am also attaching output of some commands so as to give you an idea about my laptop
(these commands are not from KALI linux because I was facing issues with KALI linux so I installed Ubuntu and ran the commands)

If your usinbg a Hi DPI display (i.e. 2k or 4k screen) then choose the hidpi setting and it will scale the desktop larger, if your problem is everything is too big, then check desktop scaling in settings menu.
