FINALLY, after a year of suffering with vesa and no video playback,
happened upon a simple workaround to this problem which was originally
described for AE100 and works for me on AE700. The workaround is
described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=536344
I used "gtf 1280 720 60" to generate a modeline and included it in
xorg.conf, explicitly setting the resolution. Here is the totality of my
xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
Modeline "1280x720_60.00" 74.48 1280 1336 1472 1664 720 721 724 746
-HSync +Vsync
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
SubSection "Display"
Modes "1280x720_60.00"
EndSubSection
Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
I also added the suggested xrandr command in .xinitrc.
