Nope, nothin'.

However, I tried booting with the old, 2.6 kernel and no video problems.
 The Debian kernel packages I have installed are
linux-image-2.6-686            3.2+43
linux-image-3.2.0-1-686-pae    3.2.6-1
Wait, the one named 2.6 is version 3.2??  Well, anyway, there's
something different about the newer kernel that's making the video card
unhappy.  And now I can install the ssh server so I can troubleshoot the
system headless.  (That always sounds weird to me.)
