I've taken a closer look and its not only console that looks bad. I think that observation, that after rescaling to 1280x1024 fonts are rendered poperly, means here something important.

But in fact my monitor IS connected via a standard VGA connector. It simply has no DVI plug, only VGA. My graphics card has a single output connector and a splitter, which allows me to connect two monitors, both using VGA connector (I'm using only one). > xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --mode 1600x1200 --rate 60 > > If this is crisp (but flickers.. that's normal) there's your problem.

It would mean, that the only thing left for me is to use a proprietary NVidia driver. Becouse if the binary driver does something and nouveau not, it means, that nouveau should be fixed/improved to obtain the same functionality (which is basic here). Otherwise it's kind of useless...
