SILENT_Running

Hi, I recently decided it was about time I started using linux as i'd heard so many good things about it. I decided to use Ubuntu 10.10 on recommendation of a friend. Unfortunately I am unable to increase the screen resolution beyond 800x600. Following a bit of advice from an IRC chat friend I ran a few commands through the terminal, relating to the display settings. They are as follows:
unicron@Silent-Running:~$ lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 671MX
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS AGP Port (virtual PCI-to-PCI bridge)
00:02.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS968 [MuTIOL Media IO] (rev 01)
00:02.5 IDE interface: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 5513 [IDE] (rev 01)
00:03.0 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.1 Controller (rev 0f)
00:03.1 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.1 Controller (rev 0f)
00:03.3 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 2.0 Controller
00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 191 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev 02)
00:05.0 IDE interface: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SATA Controller / IDE mode (rev 03)
00:0f.0 Audio device: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Azalia Audio Controller
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10)
unicron@Silent-Running:~$ lspci -nn | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter [1039:6351] (rev 10)
root@Silent-Running:/home/unicron# xrandr -q
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 800 x 600, maximum 800 x 600
default connected 800x600+0+0 0mm x 0mm
800x600 61.0*
640x480 60.0
I have also uploaded my Xorg.0.log file here http://www.mediafire.com/?1puzpdrbdjvgcod (incase that helps).
Any help would be greatly appreciated, or even a referral to a guide somewhere.
oh, and apologies in advance if i've posted this in the wrong place or have done something else a stupid and heinous.
