First run
$ modprobe nvidiafb

$ modprobe nouveau # gives
Module '=off' not found.   ... or something like that.  

I have manually installed all the modules looking at
'/lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.dep

$ grep nouveau /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.dep
kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau.ko: 
kernel/drivers/platform/x86/mxm-wmi.ko kernel/drivers/platform/x86/wmi.ko 
kernel/drivers/acpi/video.ko kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm.ko 
kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_kms_helper.ko kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko 
kernel/drivers/i2c/algos/i2c-algo-bit.ko

Each individual line works with 'modprobe', but not nvidia.  Then I have
to run 'sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart' and then I have the nouveau
drivers recognized.  Now, you can look at '/var/log/Xorg.0.log' and see
why your modes are rejected.  Run through this link to manually add
resolutions.

xrandr.html

Lesson: Don't change to 'nouveau' from the 'nvidia binaries' if you hit
this bug.  If you did, then maybe the above helps.  My display is still
flakey; no doubt because of the modeline I have to cook up now.
