I John. I've got same problem as you with an asus graphic card (nviadia gpu) and Debian wheezy. No way to install the nvidia drivers properly. At the end of a long story I re-install the LinuxCNC Wheezy distribution and leave the video drivers it automatically detect and it is fine (resolution 1280x1024). On my side the problem mainly was related to the kernel specific drivers requested from the nvidia gpu (LCNC Wheezy kernel is not the standard one because it is patched for the RTAI (PAE)) . As someome point me out (maybe Sebastian) it is not possible to install the proprietary drivers on the Wheezy LCNC distro. Maybe it is not impossible for some "guru" but for me it is. So I went straight to the easy way. ;-)
