Thank you! That link got me to Joy, but with a hiccup and a bit of a 
mystery.

I quickly found the solution to the hiccup.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/851704/xrandr-errors-badname-named-color-or-font-does-not-exist

The line:

xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" 172.80 1920 2040 2248 2576 1080 1081 
1084 1118 -HSync +Vsync

uses the name "1920x1080_60.00", and xrandr no longer likes it. I just 
used the name "1080p". I am guessing that the "_" is the problem, but I 
did not test that.

I was working from the command line and did the --addmode from there. My 
display went crazy, and I had to do a soft boot.

The system came back in 1920x1080 (!) Joy. I did not have to use the 
--ouput step, and fix seems permanent.

Cheers!
