I had a similar problem with a family member's machine. I kept messing with the XF86Config-4 until I finally got it. I ended up basically removing all references to the on-board. But the kicker was that X was set up to run dual monitors (it seems to assume if you have two video cards - you want to hook up two monitors). So I was having the same blanking out and such upon trying to startx at first. You have to pay particular attention to the monitor/screen numbers/names. It seems that the on-board was associated with the 1st monitor (or only monitor in this case). It's been a while, so my memory of the specifics are escaping me right now, but that was the jest. Make sure you have the correct monitor/screen set up for the card/chipset you want to use. Of course this is only one factor, but check it out. hth, -s
