This has been discussed on the Nouveau mailing list.
When running this command:
xrandr -s 640x480
Nouveau only fills the screen horizontally, vertically it leaves 2/3s of the
screen at the top and bottom unused. This makes this mode unusable.
Adding -r 75 to the above command fixes the problem.
Perhaps the higher frequency mode should be used by default.
The NVIDIA drivers do not have this problem, the screen is always filled.
This bug breaks games like "lbrickbuster2" which want to run full=
screen at
640x480.
