Re: Q: wheezy: how to increase X resolution?

I won't bore you with all the things I've tried without success. (At least, I
won't bore you yet.)

The Xorg.0.log file can be viewed at:
   https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18494055/Xorg.0.log

I note the error to load ast; I suspect that that might be important, but I
don't know how to fix it.

I tried to create an Xorg.conf file so I would have a measure of control over
what's happening, but that fails with the messages at:
   https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18494055/config.txt

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.

The driver identifies itself at boot time as ASPEED 08.00.0; I have checked
with the motherboard manufacturer's site, and this is the current version. The
documentation explicitly says that wheezy 7.7 is supported.

Any help much appreciated. I am pretty much at a brick wall at this point.

I'm an advocate for Easy-Linux and install my video driver using the smxi script, sometimes I need to run it twice to get the xorg.conf correct but it never fails me, I use nvidia driver, but it should work for you too. http://smxi.org/site/install.htm#install-with-zip
