KDE - Debian 8.2 - Problem with dual display setup, 1920x1080 & 1440x900 (GTX 960)

Huh, sorry for "noob" question but how exactly can I revert my Debian 8.2 from nvidia to nouveau ? I dunno how to do it..
I used apt-get purge nvidia*
generated new xorg.conf
"egrep -i " connected|card detect|primary dev|Setting driver" /var/log/Xorg.0.log" still gives me "[ 25.757] (--) NVIDIA(0): CRT-0 (boot, connected)"
What is interesting, now I'm able to choose more resolutions for my secondary monitor. This is my xrandr output:

Code:

Aspect ratio on this secondary monitor is 16:10 but it shows only 4:3 resolutions. Any idea how to change it to 16:10 or how to switch my drivers to nouveau?

I run openbox without a desktop environment and one of these sets up both my monitors in their optimized states;
For my primary monitor eDP1 and secondary monitor VGA1,

Code:

xrandr --output eDP1 --auto --output VGA1 --auto
                    (OR)
xrandr --output eDP1 --auto --output VGA1 --auto --left-of eDP1
                    (OR)
xrandr --output eDP1 --auto --output VGA1 --auto --right-of eDP1
