Thanks for the initial Info.

After I got it working  I found this a Fedoraproject.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_xorg.conf


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"
     EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
         Identifier      "Default Layout"
         Screen          "Primary Screen"
EndSection
