Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
Lucid release candidate, Nividia Riva TNT2 video card, Dell 1905FP LCD monitor: nouveau driver sets the highest screen resolution at 1024 x 768 when the highest (and optimal) resolution is 1280 x 1024. The nv driver set the resolution fine in 9.10. If I add the boot option "nomodeset", X starts with the vesa driver and the resolution is fine.

It would be interesting to know if this works correctly without /etc/X11/xorg.conf; nouveau appears to be seeing the 1280x1024 mode, but is rejecting it.
If that doesn't work, could you please boot with nomodeset and attach the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file created when X is using vesa (and getting the resolution right)?
