Xorg.0.log contains:

(II) MGA(0): I2C bus "DDC P1" initialized.
(II) MGA(0): I2C device "DDC P1:ddc2" registered at address 0xA0.
(II) MGA(0): I2C device "DDC P1:ddc2" removed.
(II) MGA(0): I2C Monitor info: (nil)

(II) MGA(0): DDC Monitor info: (nil)
(II) MGA(0): end of DDC Monitor info

I've managed (I think so) to install the Xserver from gutsy into my hardy system. That doesn't make the problem disappear. So I suspect my problems aren't the fault of the X server packages.

My workaround is to include the following into the Monitor section of xorg.conf:

 HorizSync 30-92
 VertRefresh 50-85

ATTENTION! This may damage monitors which aren't capable to work with these refresh rates!
