Xorg log file showing kernel 3.14.2-200.fc20.x86_64 failing nouveau

Description of problem:

After updating to kernel 3.14.2-200.fc20.x86_64 I was shocked to find my nice 27 inch screen capable of 2560x1440 resolution suddenly only showing XGA 1024x768.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel 3.14.2-200.fc20.x86_64

How reproducible:

Just sudo yum update to the latest kernel and reboot.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo yum update
2. sudo reboot
3. shock

Actual results:

Nouveau fails due to disabled KMS and falls back to VESA X driver resulting in XGA 1024x768 resolution.

Expected results:

Nouveau X driver with 2560x1440 resolution like before.

Additional info:

Attached Xorg log file showing new failing kernel 3.14.2-200.fc20.x86_64 configuration.

Digging a little bit through the previous and new dmesg output I found what is failing:

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 11:44:31 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2015-06-29 20:25:09 UTC
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
