I decides to try open source nouveau driver on my Dell Latitude D630 laptop (Quadro NVS 135M). I configured Xorg (presented in bottom of message).
I do:
$ modprobe -r nvidia
$ modprobe nouveau
And immediately after this console resolution chahging on native 1440x900
But when I «startx» Xorg starts with 640x480
I breaks my brain searching information about so problem, after that (Modeline taken from `gtf 1440 900 60`):
$ xrandr --newmode "1440x900_60.00" 106.47 1440 1520 1672 1904 900 901 904 932 -HSync +Vsync
$ xrandr --addmode LVDS-1 1440x900_60.00
$ xrandr -s 1440x900_60.00
And it gives me 1440x900, but some fonts are very large, some fonts very small. Wallpaper is mosaic and Conky not in it's place. What I do wrong and why xorg.conf don't work properly?

May be it just a not stable nouveau?

I haven't been able to make it work either X simply refuses to come up - and I keep on trying every couple of months...

Show Xorg.0.log after trying to run with such parametres(with nouveau).

I got Nouveau to "work" but for some reason the GDM's login window was aligned to the right and the noise from the GPU fan was simply unbearably loud.
Does a fix/workaround exist for controlling the fan speed with nouveau?

Okay, tried it again myself and it worked. I had to get rid of my old xorg.conf and KDM came up.
No compositing yet, but no big surprises there. Attempted to change old xorg.conf from Driver "nvidia" to Driver "nouveau" but no joy. Suppose I've got to try and have nouveau generate its own xorg.conf...

I want to close this thread. Recently I reinstall Arch on new HDD and at once installed nouveau driver with default config. And it works good!
If it needed this my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-video.conf (it simple now):
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "nouveau"
VendorName "nVidia Corporation"
BoardName "Quadro NVS 135M"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1440x900_60.00"
EndSubSection
EndSection
And I don't have /etc/X11/xorg.conf
I was pleasantly surprised that UrbanTerror works (but performance is insufficient for comfortable gaming)
I want to know: can this driver to crash hardware? What is your opinion?
