Can I use the nouveau driver in xorg.conf to Lock in the resolution ?.

I have a computer that defaults to 1920x1080 and that resolution is to 
high, and I have a older friend that will be using this computer and I 
want to Lock into
1280x1024x75 .

I don't want to use the nvidia drivers they are to unstable and nouveau 
drivers
are doing a good job on this computer.

Try adding something like the following to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, where 
the "Identifier" is what you get from `xrandr -q`.

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "DVI-I-1"
        Option       "PreferredMode" "1280x1024"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Device0"
        Driver      "nouveau"
EndSection

Thanks for the initial Info.

After I got it working  I found this a Fedoraproject.

This did the job:


Section "Monitor"
    Identifier      "VGA-1"
    Modeline        "1280x1024_75.00"  108.88  1280 1360 1496 1712  1024 1025 1028 1060  -HSync +Vsync
    Option          "PreferredMode" "1280x1024_75.00"
EndSection
Section "Device"
    Identifier      "Device0"
    Driver          "nouveau"
    Option          ""
EndSection
Section "Screen"
    Identifier      "Primary Screen"
    Device          ""
    DefaultDepth    24
    SubSection "Display"
        Depth           24
        Modes   "1280x1024" "1024x768" "640x480"
