Aha! Last January when I was installing the OS the stock kernel was
linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64; so that one got installed by the installer.
At that time the newest kernel available on wheezy-backports was
3.10-0.bpo.3-amd64, which I installed as soon as I could after getting
a working OS, but before X.org and trinity 3.5.13.2.
Since reading your post I discovered that the latest kernel now
available is 3.12-0.bpo.1-amd64 which I will now install. There are
other kernels mentioned in wheezy-backports labelled "pae". Since I
don't know what that means I will avoid them. Thanks for the tip.

I never did get LVM going on top of RAID1. Since I had to use an
mini-ITX box there would not be room in it for more than the two hard
drives already there and used for the RAID1. I consequently made a
virtue out of necessity by deciding that I did not need LVM. If ever
I need more hard drive space it will have to be external.
I now know that a few of my problems were the result of switching from
32 to 64 bit, the first time for me with 64 bit. I also seem to
remember that about a year ago you had trouble activating sound in
your machine. I will work on that problem when I have time.
