I installed xserver-xorg-video-geode from the in [2] given source into chroot.

Then I set lts.conf to:
[default]
    X_SERVER       = geode
    SCREEN_07      = ldm
    SCREEN_02      = shell

The client still fails starting the xserver. The file Xorg.6.log shows some 
suspicious facts (I could not save the file, so the following text does not 
expresse exactly the file content):

1.)
The loaded video module is named "CYRIX" despite the setting in lts.conf.

2.)
Many Modelines are calculated, some of them are declined because of 
insufficient video ram, but 1024x768 should be ok.

3.)
The File contains no line, which says that xserver start failed.
