3) The HD3450 DVI-HDMI output is connected by HDMI cable to an ASUS
MK241H monitor.  It should provide a 1920x1200 display + audio via the
monitor.  When it does so, xrandr reports:

xrandr -q

4) The display generally starts fine, but intermittently, after apparently random times and with random programs running, the display turns off and the monitor reports no HDMI output.  Logging in from another machine, everything appears to be normal and xrandr reports the same as above.  However, there is no HDMI output to the monitor.  This can be fixed by xrandr, using first:

xrandr -d :0 --output DVI-0 --mode 1024x768

which makes the display visible again, in the lower resolution, then

xrandr -d :0 --output DVI-0 --mode 1920x1200

which restores the original display.  Things then function normally
until the next random HDMI output failure.
