oook...fixed... :lol:
I logged in to neo's box via SSH and updated the system via

Code: Select all

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
3 packages weren't updated, so:

Code: Select all

apt-get  dist-upgrade
a new version of the kernel was installed (2.6.20-16 instead of 2.6.20-15) and voila: xserver started....so it was most likely a simple kernel bug or a missing implementation of the driver in the old kernel version.
