Please attach your full /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if
any).

Andrei,
Thanks for the reply. I can't believe I didn't think to look for a log file related to this. And no, there is no xorg.conf, just the Xorg.0.log file. It is quite large, but here it is. I see some interesting lines about the display in it. Am I missing a driver?

For some reason your cards run with the vesa driver instead of nouveau.
Maybe nouveau doesn't support your cards? I'm reluctant to suggest this,
but you probably need the nvidia driver (package nvidia-glx in section
non-free) to get full support for your cards.
Kind regards,
Andrei

The nouveau version in squeeze does not support these cards, they should
work in wheezy though.

Let's hope that security is not Nelson's main concern then¹.

Before he gets into that, it could be worth checking with
dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-video
that the nouveau package is installed. Also
dmesg | grep nouveau
will indicate whether the nouveau module is loaded.
Could it be that a newer kernel is required for the Quado 600?
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/CodeNames/
As a matter of interest, the EDID information in the log gives the type
of monitor used.

Unless I'm mistaken, his Xorg.0.log indicates nouveau is already
installed.

Of course security is a concern. Otherwise I'd spend a lot of money on an insecure, propriety OS full of really cool baubles. : )
I think the output of dmesg is telling me my driver does not support the cards:
**** nouveau 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 24 (level, low) -> IRQ 24
**** nouveau 0000:03:00.0: setting latency timer to 64

**** nouveau 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A disabled
**** nouveau: probe of 0000:03:00.0 failed with error -22
**** nouveau 0000:04:00.0: enabling device (0002 -> 0003)
**** nouveau 0000:04:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 30 (level, low) -> IRQ 30
**** nouveau 0000:04:00.0: setting latency timer to 64
**** nouveau 0000:04:00.0: Unsupported chipset 0x0c1c00a1
**** nouveau 0000:04:00.0: PCI INT A disabled
**** nouveau: probe of 0000:04:00.0 failed with error -22
However, since this is a desktop system and not a production server, Wheezy is an option that I had already wondered about. In fact, I already had downloaded it before posting. Normally I exhaust all options before asking for help, but with my schedule this and next week I opted to see if there was an easy solution that I had just overlooked.
I will probably come in tomorrow to install Wheezy, and I will report back.
Thanks to everyone for the help so far!

Nelson, it looks like your reply did not reach the list, possibly
because it's over 100 kB in size. Please configure your mailer to send
plain text _only_ to avoid that.

Yes, that's http://bugs.debian.org/666468. Upgrading
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau to the version in unstable might help, but
note that you then need a kernel from unstable as well or lose
acceleration, see http://bugs.debian.org/bug=679557.

You had best ask upstream about that. They use IRC as their main
support and discussion medium, channel #nouveau on irc.freenode.net.
The Nouveau Wiki at http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ has some
information about multicard setups as well, but it's down ATM.
Cheers,
Sven
