Crystal Ball is a little cloudy today... but I'm seeing different
versions of X -- one that supports certain graphics hardware and one
that does not.  A likely course of action is to run x86config on the
machine where X isn't working, and find out if the display hardware is
supported.  If yes, continue with configuration, using the other Config
file as a reference.  If no, update X (which may entail updating Debian
version).

You might try posting the exact problem in the future. Clairvoyance is
tricky business.
