I'm having trouble with dual head for Debian Wheezy amd64 and Intel HD Graphics
2000 -- the primary monitor works as expected, the secondary monitor
continuously resizes.
I've posted help requests to three lists and have recieved no replies:

Please let me know if you need additional information, file contents, commands

I have a system:
* Antec Sonata III 500 case with power supply
* Intel DQ67SWB3 motherboard
* Intel Core i7-2600S processor
* Corsair CMV8GX3M2A1333C9 memory 2 @ 4 GB DDR3 1333 MHz matched pair
* Intel SSDSC2CW060A310 solid state drive -- 520 series, 60 GB, SATA 3
* Seagate ST3000DM001 hard drive -- 3 TB, 7200 RPM, 64 MB, SATA 3
* Pioneer BDR-2206B5PK Blu-ray drive -- RW, 12x, SATA
* StarTech DVIVGAMFBK DVI to VGA adapter connected to DVI-I port
* Nokia 445XiPlus monitor connected to StarTech DVIVGAMFBK adapter
* StarTech DP2VGA2 Display Port to VGA adapter connected to DisplayPort port
* Nokia 445Xi monitor connected to StarTech DP2VGA2 adapter
The goal is to get both monitors working at maximum resolution and refresh rate
in extended desktop mode.
Here are the BIOS -> Configuration -> Video settings:
Integrated Graphics Device Always Enable
IGD DVMT Memory Maximum DVMT
Primary Video Adapter Int Graphics (IGD)
IGD Primary Video Port DVI-I (Blue) Analog
IGD Secondary Video Port DisplayPort
No Video Detected Error Beeps Enable
I have installed Debian testing (Wheezy) amd64 and have all current updates.
The POST and GRUB screens appear on both monitors (mirror mode) during boot
without any issues.
The monitors enter extended desktop mode once X is running:
1. The primary monitor ("Nokia445XiPlus" on VGA1) looks good. :-)
2. The secondary monitor ("Nokia445Xi" on DP2) is repeatedly resizing
horizontally -- the right edge of the screen creeps in ~0.5" in ~3.6 seconds,
the screen flashes and resizes to full size, and then the process repeats. :-(
dmesg is showing a lot (~200) of the same error message:
[drm:intel_dp_i2c_aux_ch] *ERROR* too many retries, giving up
Console session follows.
Dual head extended mode maximum resolution and refresh on both monitors works
flawlessly OOTB with Windows8-ReleasePreview-64bit-English.iso, so my hardware
is okay.
Any suggestions?
TIA,
David
