Resolution Problem

Hello, i am new to Crunchbang and GNU/Linux too.
I see you've got a nice and helpful community here and i would be glad if someone could help me with my problem.
Well, i have a Clevo M765s, and i recently installed Crunchbang as i would like to begin with it, cause it does not hold the users arm in his first steps, and it requires to search and fix things yourself (not as Ubuntu, Mint etc..).

To the topic, my problem is that the default resolutions are very low (highest 800x600), things are little blurry and i would like to fix that. Using windows i had a high resolution (i don't remember the exact one right now) .
I have tried several things with xrandr such as adding modes but no luck with it.

The result from the lspci | grep VGA command is this:

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

To be sure i have the graphic driver i entered

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-sis

and i got

xserver-xorg-video-sis is already the newest version.
xserver-xorg-video-sis set to manually installed.

After some of my searches i saw that i don't have any xorg.conf file in my etc/X11 folder.

I am studying this problem 2 days now, but i  am not gonna give up, so that's why i posted here to get some experience and help too.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Resolution Problem

If you dont have xorg.conf, you can still create one. Example older distros witch create itself, you can copy it there to your own /etc. Hope that this can help forward you.
