I used to have a similar set-up and would advise you not to delete the noveau drivers.
The reason being, when things go wrong and you need to rescue the system, the noveau drivers are the fail-safe drivers that you know will work.
I believe I have the correct information here. I have recently changed laptops, and I can not remember exactly what was what!
As you say, 640x480 is not really very useful and is obviously not really what is being displayed. Take a look at this question and the answer with the green tick, it should point you in the right direction.

It looks like the settings you have have got corrupted somehow. I am sorry, I can not remember where the settings were stored. but hopefully someone will be along shortly who can help. In the mean time I'll have a quick look around for you.
