Crunchbang doesn't boot up properly on my new computer

I just bought a new computer, and I really want to have crunchbang on it. First I tried the 64-bit version, but that one didn't boot up at all. (The computer has support for 64-bit.) So then I tried the 32-bit version, and that one booted up with a lot of error that I couldn't read. When I finally was logged in, the resolution was wrong. I have a wide screen, but there was no alternative for wide screen. Does anyone know what is wrong, and what I can do to make it work?

Here is what I get from lspci: (If that doesn't give all needed information about my hardware, just let me know what command to use.)

What computer do you have? Manufacturer, model.

I think your computer has one of Intel's Sandy Bridge processors with integrated graphics. If your computer has both Intel and NVIDIA graphics then you could try this:

Re: Crunchbang doesn't boot up properly on my new computer

I bought the computer from a shop where they build their own computers, so it's not a special model. I have not NVIDIA grapchic card on this computer. (It's my netbook that have NVIDIA.)
For example Ubuntu and Linux Mint gives the right resolution, so I wonder if there is a package missing that I can install? Or otherwise, is there a way to force it to use the resolution 1920x1080, even though it's not in the list in the grafical tool to change resolution? Or just change in a config script?
