As requested I have attached my xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log files. I'm attaching the conf and log files which occurred using the nv driver, although I get the same results (near as I can tell) when using the vga driver. You can also see that I've disabled glx output and restricted screen resolution to 1024x768 or lower (non-widescreen resolutions) in the hope that this might help, but no luck so far. To keep the message length down I have attached these files instead of copied the text. Hope this doesn't violate any mailing list etiquette rules. Haven't gotten the box to recognize the monitor yet, although I did manage to get the mouse configured correctly thanks to mdetect. Is it unusual to have to require root privileges to open /dev/psaux ? I couldn't cat that device file on my usual login, and mdetect could not discover it without being run as root.
