After further work I have discovered that the EDID data appears to be corrupted. As there is no easy way to set the desired resolution (that has been reported as a bug by others), I have set the resolution using /etc/X11/xorg.conf. This works - despite what you may read on the Web - even though I am using Intel graphics and that is using KMS. I tried setting video=VGA1:1280x1024 on the kernel command line, but that was ineffective.
