Thanks all for the advice. Problem is solved now, but unfortunately I don't know why. First I found, that the space of my root partition was exhausted. I did some cleaning up but it didn't solve the problem. So I followed D.G. Wilson's advice and used xf86config from command line and - surprise - I could start X Windows. I inspected the generated file and found that it didn't use FontPath "unix/:7100" in Section "Files" but fixed font path entries. OK, I thought, Derek is right with his suspcion against the font server. I made a backup of my original config file and changed the Files sektion containing fixed font path entries. After a restart I could use my dual head configuration again. In order to track down the font server problem I switched back zu my backup copy with the "unix/:7100" entry. After a restart it worked, too. Very strange, I don't know why. (But OK, I can work) Thanks for all advice.
