Yesterday I uninstalled the nvidia driver and tried to get the nouveau to work. As the nouveau does not recognize the proper resolution I have to use xrandr to create and add a new one.

As a lack of time I have not completely solved this issue yesterday. At least with the default (and maximal recognized) resolution of 1024x768 there is no flickering visible.

When adding a new resolution for 1920x1080 I have seen some sort of flickering. But in the current configration the size of virtual screen and the configuration in the xorg.conf does not match. In this setting I have seen that it does not correctly refresh the screen.
But I don't know If this is related to the wrong configuration.

Is there a way to get the X configuration from the live cd and use it on the installed system? I think when installing last time I almost had a correct resolution.
