The mystery is still there, but the X-Window in my Debian Testing installation is now operational. What were my changes? 1. The video card driver was changed from 'vesa' to 'nv' (my video card is GeForce FX 5200). In RedHat8.0, 'vesa' worked. 2. I deleted the 1280x960 mode. In RedHat8.0, this mode did not cause problems. 3. The monitor identifier was changed from "___:ffff" to "Sony SDM-HS73", because there is a bad omen associated with colons. The RedHat8.0 configuration did not have colons in monitor identifiers.
