Sorry, I cannot post to the news-group online. Yes, I did register and
get everything into my mailbox.
Before I send the long stuff, in the meantime I tried all suggestions

Curious, I stuck in a RIVA TNT/2, which worked.
I tried the r128-driver, also no success.
I even upgraded to unstable, everything okay, except of X.
Don't tell me that card is gone: It works nicely from that exactly same
hardware, only another partition (RedHat). From which I am writing here.
Thanks to grub.
Here come all the details: (here for ati instead of r128, but all the
same result)

The above lines marked (WW) remind me of a similar error message I used 
to get when I was missing some key fonts packages.  I would get a "No 
Screens Found" error and X wouldn't start.  This used to be a packaging 
problem back in the pre-Woody days, but I haven't heard of it 
recently... until now.  Maybe you are missing a font package or have not 
completely installed it...  I am even more suspicious of something like 
this happening since you are having problems with two different cards. 
Worth a check....

I have the following fonts packages installed here:

xfonts-base
xfonts-100dpi
xfonts-75dpi
xfonts-scalable
HTH,
