You might want to do that but the manual for the Asus M2NPV-VM indicates
the motherboard and graphics chipset will not co-operate with you. Can
you see why?
"Manuals? We don't need no stinkin' manuals!" The first thing I do
when I open the box is grab the motherboard (after rubbing my feet on
the carpet). Then, I throw away the box and everything else that came
with it. ;-)
You are welcome to come over to my house (Tracy, California) and witness:
1. 1600x1200 @ 85 Hz on Windows XP SP3.
2. 1600x1200 @ 85 Hz on Debian Squeeze using an NVIDIA proprietary
driver. Here is its xorg.conf FWIW:

And how about the results of the recommended testing method? ... hours of endless fun.
xorg.conf has worked for me for more years than I can remember. It
continues to work for me on systems with Intel graphics.
(Personal note: there's a hint in the previous sentence.)
Sorry, but I'm not wading through disorganised text.
What?! You're missing out on an opportunity for "hours of endless fun"!
;-)
When Wheezy becomes "stable" I'll see if that works OOTB.
Thank you, all. :-)
