If it's a _real_ Cirrus Logic 5446, then it may only have something
like 2 or 4MB of memory and so Debian configures it conservatively.
If you can change the colour depth, do so to try. 8 bit rather than 16
bit may allow you to have a higher res. Kill any running X (killall gdm
/ killall kdm may help here).
Xorg -configure
as root may help. X writes a new xorg config file -
/root/xorg.conf.new
by default - and you can run X with
X -config /root/xorg.conf.new
If you get the X cursor on a grey background, you've got a working
configuration. Look at that first. It may be appropriate to just cp/mv
/root/xorg.conf.new directly to /etc/X11/xorg.conf if you're happy.
Hope this helps,
