[SOLVED]nouveau driver not load full resolution/display of vga(gf6600)

Hi, I always used slackware, I installed Archlinux now and liked this much... but, I have a problem with nouveau driver in the screen resolution. In slackware, nouveau load full resolution of my monitor (1920x1080) automatically, but in ArchLinux, the system load the max resolution of 1024x768.

I created the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nouveau.conf

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth 24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport  0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes     "1920x1080"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

And don't worked ...

What do I do?

Thanks,

Giovanne.

Re: [SOLVED]nouveau driver not load full resolution/display of vga(gf6600)

are you using an xorg.conf in addition to 20-nouveau.conf? I hope not.

Also did you try without a conf file at all. Is this the only monitor that you are connected to?

And please post the output of 'xrandr' and /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
