Upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 on Fujitsu esprimo now display won't give correct rsolution
I had this problem when i installed Ubuntu initially, but the upgrade to 9.10 solved it quickly, now I have just upgraded to 10.04 and am back to the 800x600 resolution only. How can I solve this? My laptop is a Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo mobile 5535

You need an xorg.conf file to get decent res, SiS chips are weird in Linux.

Dear actionparsnip ans marcobra
Many thanks for your help, problem is now solved, got the drivers from actions second thread and moved them to the drivers file then made an xorg.conf file. Some issues around file permissions, but overcame these using sudo in the terminal.
Works perfectly now
