[Nouveau] Nouveau doesn't use the maximal resolution of my screen and GPU

[Ilia Mirkin]

There is no sign of the nouveau kernel module being loaded. Make sure
it's loaded, otherwise it won't work. Some distributions blacklist it
in modprobe.conf or a related file. I believe the nvidia blob
installer might as well.

Actually, looks like you've explicitly disabled it --

Oct 28 21:57:22 victorlefevre-MS-7235 kernel: [    0.000000] Kernel
command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-38-generic
root=UUID=7b0559d9-fbbe-4635-b244-bda94aa0a640 ro quiet splash
nomodeset vt.handoff=7

"nomodeset" turns off all modesetting, which disables nouveau from
being loaded. Remove that, and you'll get further.
