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

Hi Sven,

Thank you for your message.

| Your kern.log is not really helpful since it comes from a 2.6.26 kernel.

Oops.  Sorry, I seem to have sent a wrong file.

| resolution.  See also #588927.

Thank you for the info.  But, reading that thread, I couldn't tell
what's the solution is.  Does this mean that nouveau will never work
with those monitors?  Or are there solutions to this problem? such as
writing something in /etc/X11/xorg.conf for nouveau ?

Regards,
Ryo
