First test the display resolution you want to have as described by
Benjamin. If it works you can use my xorg.conf as a basis to write
yours:
Section "Device"
Identifier "FX5200"
Driver "nouveau"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "1905FP"
Modeline "1280x1024" 115.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync
HorizSync 30-81
VertRefresh 56-76
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "FX5200"
Monitor "1905FP"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1280x1024"
EndSubSection
EndSection
I used 'cvt 1280 1024' to get the Modeline.
