Do you have old xorg.conf saved somewhere?
Look in /etc/X11/ all xorg.conf.<something> files that look similar to
current, save current xorg.conf, copy the similar one as new xorg.conf
and try how it works.

With my old xorg.conf (from 10.2) X does not start. With my new xorg.conf
(see earlier posting) it works after: ctrl-alt-backspace.

Here the old xorg.conf-file:
[...] Thanks.

The ctrl-alt-backspace ie. xorg restart sounds like something that regular
startup scripts are running appear late.

Can you check to what card is connected the monitor that works right after
boot. You can also check /var/log/Xorg.0.log before xorg restart. Look for
lines starting with EE which indicates error.
grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log
can be helpful for the begin. You can also save that file.

Than restart xorg. That will generate new /var/log/Xorg.0.log . Compare both
files.

BTW, this is part of oldfile:

Which card is "GeForce FX 5600". I'm not sure, but X server is sometimes
very precise about xorg.conf and if it finds irregularities it can refuse
to start. The inspection of /var/log/Xorg.0.log before another attempt to
start Xorg can help a lot to find where it failed.
