Just in case it would help, I enabled the wheezy deb-multimedia repository and did a dist-upgrade (it made no difference). I used cvt to get a modeline for 1920x1200, and tried to run xrandr with that mode (sorry about layout below): xrandr --newmode "1920x1200_60.00" 193.25 1920 2056 2256 2592 1200 1203 1209 1245 -hsync +vsync xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default and then : xrandr --output default --mode 1920x1200_60.00 xrandr: cannot find mode 1920x1200_60.00 Perhaps I wasn't using the xrandr command correctly, but that usage seemed to be what the documentation I found suggested. Then I tried building an Xorg.conf file, with the result in https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18494055/config.txt Nothing I could google was any help in explaining why the Xorg -configure command might have failed. If I issue just the xrandr command by itself, I get: xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1024 default connected 1280x1024+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1280x1024 75.0* 60.0 1024x768 75.0 70.0 60.0 800x600 75.0 72.0 60.0 56.0 640x480 75.0 73.0 67.0 60.0 >> >> I see that "ast" is listed as an available video driver; so I don't understand >> why the Xorg.0.log file says it's unable to be loaded. > > As far as I can tell Xorg expects a file > /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ast_drv.so.

The "PCI:" line in your Xorg.0.log is not > very informative :-/ The only thing I know about the ast driver is that, whatever it is, the Xorg.0.log file says that it can't be loaded. I know nothing else about it at all. If you can suggest other places for me to look, or other files I could upload to dropbox to help learn something more about the ast driver, I would be delighted to act on your suggestions. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "video adapter". I am just trying to use the video provided by the motherboard; there is no separate adapter. The ASPEED 08.00.00 driver is the the one supplied by the manufacturer (ASUS). Doc -- Web: http://www.sff.net/people/N7DR
