Nouveau - Oct 2014 - Nouveau doesn't use the maximal resolution of my screen and GPU

Hi everybody,

I'm using Lubuntu 14.04 on an old desktop PC with a NVIDIA GeForce 7600 
GS and a screen of 19 inches.

The maximal resolution of my screen with Nvidia drivers is 1280x1024. 
(In particular, I use the Nvidia 331.89 driver)

With Nouveau driver, the maximal resolution falls to 1024x768.

Is there a solution for increasing the maximum resolution with Nouveau ?

Best regards,

Victor Lef?vre

What does 'xrandr' output?

Hi Illia,


With Nouveau :
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 1024 x 768, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
    1024x768       76.0*


With the Nvidia Driver :

Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1024
