screen resolution stuck at 1024x768

[Ian Soutar]

Great version Dapper Drake, especially for laptop support.   This is the 
first distro that every has got my Aspire 5000 to work with power 
saving, onboard wifi etc.   I have been running it all through the 
development process and finally cleaned it all out and installed 
fresh.    The power efficiency has improved ... battery life is up 50% 
over other distros I have run.

A minor problem ... I have tried editing xorg.conf as I have before to 
add higher screen resolutions.     No luck this time and I am stuck at 
1024x768.

Any tricks anyone can supply?    The screen controller is an SIS type 
one.   The 915 trick is not applicable I don't believe.

Thanks,
