Adding the Axiom card caused the PCI enumeration to move various cards to different addresses, and it may be that the Axiom card ended up at an address where the video driver was expecting the ATI card. Really, a driver should NOT remember a past address, but who knows what schemes a driver writer might use. Or, it could have been a startup script that was associated with the ATI card.
