Slávek,
I could hug you!  Luckily for you, I can't reach. ;-) I installed the xorg 
from backports - and the monitor resolution problem is solved!!

Now that I can just about bear to look at the thing, I can get on with the 
configuration and setting up.  I'll have a look at that log you recommended, 
but I have to go off again now.  

Thank you!
