Screen Resolution on Asus U43JC

First thread, excuse my noobness....

I have been running Backtrack 4 R1 on my Asus U43JC-X1 for quite a while now and I am beginning to get sick of not having the option for optimal resolution. Every time i attempt to install a driver (U43JC has Core i5 Graphics along side an Nvidia 310m) xorg gives me a "no screens found" error. Hence the only way I can use Backtract GUI is after the "fixvesa" command leaving my resolution at a not so pretty 1024x768

What drivers do i need?

I installed Ubuntu 10.10 beta on the same laptop and found that it was at the correct resolution. It was using the nouveau driver for the Nvidia card and the i915 driver for the Intel chip. Problem is, I cant seem to install either of these drivers on Backtrack.

Help :)

Try actually setting the resolution that you want to use.
Try using xrandr.

How do i use xrandr.

xrandr returns:

Code:

---

Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
  1024x768      85.0*
  800x600        86.0
  640x480        86.0

1366 x 768 Is the natural resolution of my screen.

So i figured out xrandr but when I add a new mode and try to activate it, it kicks me back to 1024x768.

EDIT: OP I apologize, your thread was not the one I intended to close.
So I have reopened the thread.
Cheers.

Apologie accepted.

I tried the mentioned tutorial and got this:

Code:

As soon as I try --addmode it kicks me back to 1024x768
