  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

  Gerald
