Additional information that would probably be useful is the Xorg.log from
wheezy. Personally, my first suspicion would be towards drivers -- do you have
proprietary drivers on wheezy? The current log includes several error messages
about modules failing to load, so that's another likely place to look.
Finally, the log does show the monitor as reporting 1920x1200 (mode: 129); but
if I understand it correctly, the log also reports only 32M of graphics-card
memory, which is extremely small these days -- and may explain why that mode
is not considered applicable.
HTH,
