Alex, this was apparently the right hint!  Here are my observations:

Plugging *only* the vga monitor in, and disconnecting the ADC one, the Mac refuses to boot.  It switches on, and after ~5 seconds (system test?) it automatically powers off (sounds like a Notebook's card?).  The only chance to boot is plugging in both monitors.  I first booted into OS X, and had both monitors synchronised.

I then booted into Linux, and now X comes up with the radeon driver, showing the X screen on the VGA monitor, and the well-known green shades on the ADC one.  This behaviour is independent of any 'ConnectorTable' option; there is no difference between starting without, and with any of your two settings above.

An other observation: The VGA monitor has a smaller resolution (old Belinea 1024x768), but X apparently used the size of the Formac attached to the ADC (1280x1024).

I attach the bzip2'ed xorg log to this message.  Does this help to find a solution for the issue?

Thanks,
Albrecht.
