Solved. The X server chooses automatically some wrong graphics module
("modeset" I guess). If I force it to use "intel" module the X server
works again. So I created /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/my.conf file with this
content:

    Section "Device"
            Identifier  "Card0"
            Driver      "intel"
    EndSection
