 Apparently, the nouveau module (driver) is ignoring the settings in the
 /etc/xorg.d/50-device.conf and the associated conf files that are bound
 in the server conf file.

 I tested the setup with
        xinit -- :0
 which works but at the incorrect resolution.

 I even tried a customized and compiled 3.0.4 Kernel, to no avail.

 Any help would be appreciated.
 I have no problem with compiling and installing or even modifying source.

In general it is helpful to include xorg.conf and the xorg log, in
this specific case it might also be useful to include the output of
xrandr --verbose.
