Did X-compilation improve? I remember doing this several times with XFree
3.x and it was a mess IMHO... In case XFree builds more or less out of the
box I might give it a shot on the weekend. Any experience on this?

I tried this already --- turning off softupdates improves the situation
somewhat: the log-file gets created but with no content :-(

My module-section is pretty empty already:

Section "Module"

# This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables
# initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.
    SubSection  "extmod"
      Option    "omit xfree86-dga"   # don't initialise the DGA extension
    EndSubSection

EndSection

Reboot is now way faster --- it takes something like ten seconds to fall
back to SRM and reboot. Was much longer before ;-)

Anybody having problems with a Millenium II? I might try to get my
hands on one if that's fastest way...

Thanks for your help,
