Okay, I adjusted the xorg.conf and started the "x" like that:

/etc/init.d/gdm stop
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/my/path/to/the1.6.99.1/lib
startx -- /my/path/to/the1.6.99.1/bin/Xorg :2 -config /my/path/to/the1.6.99.1/xorg.conf

Which led to this:

(==) ServerLayout "Mpx Layout"
(**) |-->Screen "Default Screen" (0)
(**) |   |-->Monitor "Configured Monitor"
(**) |   |-->Device "Configured Video Device"
(**) Option "AutoAddDevices" "true"
(**) Automatically adding devices
(==) Not automatically enabling devices

(full log is attached + xorg.conf)

Hm...strange.
