increase screen resolution

Hello, i've just recently installed Arch (moved from fedora) and gotten Gnome to work. my question is this: the resolution that i've had working in fedora was 1920x1080, however now it is only at 1600x1200 (which seems to be the highest available), how do i get it to be at 1920x1080?

output for xrandr:

xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1600 x 1200, maximum 1600 x 1200
default connected 1600x1200+0+0 0mm x 0mm
   1600x1200       0.0* 
   1280x1024       0.0  
   1024x768        0.0  
   800x600         0.0  
   640x480         0.0

Re: increase screen resolution

You probably havn't installed the correct driver for your card, and is therefor using vesa, which only supports a limited set of modes.

Re: increase screen resolution

thanks. arch documentation is incredibly extensive: maybe i never noticed it with other distros? but it's all fine now.
