Xubuntu 14.04 resolution low

Question

I installed Xubuntu 14.04 amd64 on the computer at the computer repair shop where I work, but the screen resolution is way low, like 1024 x 768 (that wouldn't be low for a laptop or anything, but for a large desktop screen it is) I went to the display settings, but the resolution wouldn't go higher than that.

When I installed Xubuntu 14.04 i386 at my computer at home, I didn't have any problems with the resolution. Any help?

Update: I ran lspci | grep VGA and got:

00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] (rev a2)

identify your hardware (video card) on the computer running in low resolution. — Panther, Jun 12 '14 at 20:49
If you will provide AMD processor Model and Graphics card info to clarify your question, it will give you a better chance of getting the help you need. You my need to download microcode or a linux driver for the graphics card, but specifics will be needed. — RCF, Jun 12 '14 at 20:52
Perhaps you should install the "Additional Driver" (software-properties-gtk --open-tab=4) for your graphics.

I had a similar problem after installing proprietary drivers for my ATI Mobility Radeon 4570 HD. It was the same with fglrx, fglrx-updates, fglrx-amdcce and fglrx-amdcce-updates. Removing all of them, resultion came back as before. It should be noted that they are in conflict, so only one package at time should be installed. I tried to do so, but the problem persisted. Remove all of them turned into the best solution for me. Hope this could help.
