Thank you very much. System does now boot with radeon driver and direct rendering on.

Thus I have a good workaround. I did not check which of the two options "PreferredMode" Virtual did make the job. When you would like to have any additional tests or information I would be pleased to help you.

Relevant xorg.conf part now looks like (i.e. no BusType odr DRI off option needed):

Section "Device"
 Identifier "Radeon 9250 128MB"
        Driver "ati"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
 Identifier "Standardbildschirm"
 Option "DPMS"
 HorizSync 28-80
 VertRefresh 43-85
        Option "PreferredMode" "1024x768"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
 Identifier "Default Screen"
 Device "Radeon 9250 128MB"
 Monitor "Standardbildschirm"
 DefaultDepth 24
 SubSection "Display"
  Depth 24
  Modes "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
                Virtual 1024 768
        EndSubSection
EndSection
