    Have you checked your BIOS? Also, you may have to manually remove *all* references to the old card from your config files.. or re-run your setup programs (i use gentoo, so everything is 'nano -w <config-file>')
    Their code will be beautiful, even if their desks are buried in 3 feet of crap. - esr

    check that you have correctly configured /etc/X11/XF86Config

    You may find that it still has the onboard (i810?) defs as well as your new ones.

    have fun
