[Tom Winterhalder <1439786@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Finally the problem was coming from passing nomodeset to the kernel
command line.

Now I have full screen resolution but there is still an issue refreshing
the screen sometimes.

When switching between windows, scrolling, moving the mouse and just
writing some text the screen gets scrumbled. None of the ccsm
workarounds seem to help though.

Title:
  10de:0cbc [HP EliteBook 8540w] Max resolution of 1024x768 with nouveau

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  After a fresh installation of Vivid I only have a resolution of
  1024x768.

  Using xrandr and a custom xorg.conf file I might be able to get a
  bigger resolution (not finished testing it now).
