Bug#593784: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: fails to detect monitor resolution
Hi You may have to set up custom modelines in xorg.conf, see http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 for more information. [. . .] Thanks! It worked! Following the instructions found in the webpage cited above, I've added the following two lines to my old xorg.conf (which was working with the nv driver): Modeline 1280x1024_60.00 [. . .] Option PreferredMode 1280x1024_60.00 and replaced nv with nouveau. Then xorg now chooses the correct resolution. I'm attaching the modified xorg.conf and the resultant /var/log/Xorg.0.log . I'm wondering whether this issue affects a new user of Debian who installs it on a system with an old monitor like mine.

My situation has become worse. After leaving the machine for more than four months because I stayed abroad, I came back and dist-upgraded it (without thinking much). Then, I lost the nv driver! It's no longer available in the Debian testing repository. That means, I'm left with nouveau, which cannot use the correct resolution of my monitor. The correct resolution is 1280x1024 but nouveau chooses 1024x768. So, I tried to tell it to use the correct resolution. I copied the previous /etc/X11/xorg.conf which worked with nv and modified it to the contents quoted below. I have just deleted the Files section, which had been empty, the InputDevice section, and the ServerLayout section, and I've just replaced nv with nouveau. The machine boots up correctly, except for the screen resolution. I'm desperate. What other drivers work with nVidia cards?
