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.
