Bug#593784: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: fails to detect monitor resolution

[Ryo Furue <furue@hawaii.edu>]

Package: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
Version: 1:0.0.15+git20100329+7858345-4
Severity: important

I used to use the nv driver with /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but the X server
has started to fail after a recent upgrade.

I removed /etc/X11/xorg.conf and rebooted the system.  The X server
then started and the drive chosen was "nouveau".  The problem was
that it chose a 1024x768 mode.  I couldn't choose a higher resolution
from my desktop environment (LXDE).  The native resoluton of
my monitor is 1280x1024 (Sony SDM-HS95). 

So, I had to revert to the original xorg.conf and an older
kernel (linux-image-2.6.32-3-686) because the nv driver fails
to load under the latest one (linux-image-2.6.32-5-686) with

  (EE) NV: Kernel Modesetting driver in use, refusing to load
  (EE) No devices detected

Regards,
Ryo
