Fluxbox, xrandr & Screen Resolution

[jaqian]

I installed M9 Fluxbox on an old laptop (Dell Inspiron 4000) and I ran xrandr like the wiki says to change the screen resolution. Its a 14" screen so should be capable of displaying 1024 x 768 but according to xrandr the max available is 800*600.

How do I increase the screen resolution?

Thanks.

What graphic card does it have? Do you need to install drivers for it?

Shane,
I found what looks to be the solution... http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-918079.html
