Well, with the setting/option "nomodeset" I don't use any xorg.conf at all.
I'm just not sure if the system would boot w/o xorg.conf and w/o "nomodeset".
Anyway, I will give it a try and use the recommended options "nouveau.noaccel=1" and "nouveau.agpmode=0" (also in combination).
Question:
Could someone give a statement about the potential root cause?
Could it be true that there's no working driver for this graphic card on Linux?
Regards,
Thomas

Yes, that's the idea.

You need one as much or as little as you needed one before.

OK, good to know.

Using nomodeset disables nouveau entirely, so you won't be able to use
the 'nouveau' ddx either. It'd probably work with vesa or something.
Things to try:
nouveau.noaccel=1
nouveau.agpmode=0
(also in combination)
Did this system ever work? Any indication that the hardware isn't
terminally busted?

If you boot without the quiet option it should make it much more
apparent where things are going wrong.
