I don't have the same hardware configuration, but have seen the problem where X.org isn't able to initialise a PCI video card due to an issue with the BIOS on some PCs. Try loading the X.org Int10 module (in your xorg.conf file) which soft-boots the video card and bypasses the BIOS. Also have a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log, it may contain hints as to what is going wrong, sometimes increasing the X.org verbosity also helps. Doug
