You are welcome. I'm happy that it works for you.
Due to some help from Pat Kane we may even get the other problem away very soon.

I will also add something else: I will either enhance the X11-group's 
driver-autoconfig patch, or I will rename the drivers to what their patch 
expects (sunffb to ffb, ati to m64, radeon to pfb and so on). I must think 
about, whether this is buggy, or that. The current X11-group's patch breks 
autoconfigure functionality, when no xorg.conf file is present. But it is of 
course ARC-verified ...

Thanks for the feedback.

p.s. In about 40 hours I will leave home (and Internet for a week, but I will 
inform the list when I depart). Before I go I must release something else ...
