******************************************************************************************
Normally i run debian sarge on this PC and so i compared the Xorg.conf files.
I tried to remove the both highest resolutions "2048x1536" "1920x1440"
from the Modes-Line. After that i was able to start the X-Server from
the commandline.
As far as I see, the autoselected Videomodes are unsuitable for this
combination of hardware.
I hope my information is helpful
