Nouveau is split into two parts, a kernel module (nouveau.ko) and an X
video driver (nouveau_drv.so). The kernel module includes a framebuffer
driver that automatically uses the laptop's native resolution, see
http://wiki.debian.org/KernelModesetting.

Well, the nouveau framebuffer driver is the best for that, but it is not
compatible with the NVidia 3D blob. That's why I suggested uvesafb.
