Question sis driver


Hi,

I am having some trouble trying to change my screen resolution from the current 800x600.

I tried to install driver but it didn't help... :/

output of lspci:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10)

I hope you can help me...

thanks!!

Well, perhaps we could, if you bothered to tell us what version/distro of Linux you're using, on what kind of hardware. The chipset of your card is fairly meaningless, without knowing how much memory the card has, what kind of monitor, etc.

Could very well be that 800x600 is the best you can do. Without details, there's no way we can tell you different.
