[drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: allocated 1280x800 fb: 0x40250000, bo ffff8800be44b800
[drm] LVDS-7: set mode 1280x800 14

kms resolution seems to be ok. please remove xorg.conf at all for testing.

Without xorg.conf, can't set screen resolution as before.

state? have you tried the packaes in testing?
Comment by Manuel Mazzuola (originof) - Tuesday, 30 March 2010, 11:59 GMT
Can't start X with testing packages.
Comment by Andreas Radke (AndyRTR) - Tuesday, 30 March 2010, 12:08 GMT
You need to update all Xorg packages and the kernel to the ones in testing. Then provide error messages/logs.

I updated all packages, and yet I can not use xorg.
No error messages in Xorg.*.log

please check and post dmesg for all output that belongs to drm initialisation.

I am not sure it can work without xorg.conf , does that pick the nouveau driver ?
In any cases, try with this minimal xorg.conf :
