I had to bought a separate adaptor cable that has two digital connectors to get true dual dvi.
Every time the X-server starts it hangs about a minute. In this
time the cards provides no output signal.
The hang always occurs after this line ..

If it hangs there it is almost certainly trying and failing to get DDC information from one or both of the monitors. I know that DDC doesn't work
on the second head of a G550-DVI+VGA, so I'm not suprised to hear that it fails on a G550-dual-DVI.
Try disabling DDC with Option "noDDC" either in both Monitor sections or perhaps in the ServerFlags section. You might get away with disabling DDC in just one Monitor section, or with one or two of Option "noDDCvbe" Option "noDDC1" Option "noDDC2"
Thanks for your answer Andrew.
I put all noDDC options in the server flags and in both monitor options as well. But nothing helped, the hangs still happen.
According to the log file (excerpt appended) the module DDC is loaded and I2C bus "DDC P1" is initialized _before_ the options get recognized.
So if the hang occurs during this initialisation there is nothing to expect from the change.
Is there an extended logging/debuging possible to find out what really happens?
The logs using DDC, after the hang, always looked fine. None of the problems you described exhibited in the log files with both g550 variants.
