Errm. Dave said "Since doing this..." which suggests Axis used to start
but doesn't start now that he has installed the Axiom card.
To my way of thinking this is not a graphics card or opengl issue unless
Axis has never started. He doesn't say what the underlying system
configuration is ("be specific to be terrific" is going to be my mantra)
so I won't speculate on obscure possibilities involving the graphics
subsystem.
Rather, I'd have to ask what else was changed when the Axiom card was
installed? Call me an ornery cuss, but I suspect changes were made to
configuration files that interfere with Axis starting.
Just my two cents worth.

PS - This situation reminds me of my life as a graduate student with a
boatload of experimental data to analyze. I spent long hours in the user
room of the university computer facility. Almost every night someone
doing a class exercise would declare "My program used to work and now it
doesn't. There must be something wrong with the system." They would
often zero in on me because I was camped out with a stack of IBM manuals
and trays full of elaborately decorated card decks.
The typical exchange would go something like this:
me) "I don't know anything about your program, but what changed between
last time and this time?"
him) "Nothing."
me) "Then why are you running the program again?"
him) "Because I had to analyze a different case."
me) "So all you did was swap data decks?"
him) "Well, sure, I made a little change to the program but that
wouldn't make any difference."
me) <...long silent stare...>
