Comment 81 for bug 301958

Hii there

I have installed ubuntu 9.10 in my HCL system. In the System>Preferences>Display there are only two options 800*600 & 640*480.

Can anyone please tell me how can I achieve resolution higher to them like 1024x768 or higher.

These are the hardwares I have. Second last one i.e; 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10)
my graphics card.

In Administration>HARDWARE DRIVERS I have only ine option for Software Modem. None for the display card.
Under the Preferences>Display option it says UNKNOWN Monitor.

I came across this link

http://ubuntuway.wordpress.com/2009/07/13/drivers-de-sis-771671-para-jaunty but when i installed xorg-driver-sisimedia_0.9-1_i386.deb it made my system unstable & starts blurring the login screen & instead for asking password for login it showed command prompt like screen & asked my login & password there.

Please help me to make my system run nicely under higher resolutions

Thanks
