I have attached a copy of the file from the Debian 6 installation on
the Acer 5750G with (I believe) an inboard Intel HD device in addition
to the nvidia geforce gt520m device.
The lshw command output on the Acer 5750G, running Debian 6, includes

Now, maybe the "Sandy Bridge" thing is not the inboard Intel HD thing
that I had believed to be present, but, to me, it appears that Debian
6, on the Acer 5750G, drives the Intel device, that successfully
drives the external monitor, but cannot properly drive the Intel
device on the Acer V3-772G, so as to drive the external monitor.
So, it may be that it is notsomuch an issue with nvidia devices, but,
rather, a matter as to whether Debian can properly drive the intel
graphics controller on the Acer V3-772G.
