I had a similar situation with a PCI Radeon 7000 and a onboard rage video solution. You do have to disable the onboard, or atleast I did, but you should also be aware that PCI Radeon adapters are not as well support by xfree as agp adapters. In my case I had to specify the following lines in the device section of my XF86Config. Option "ForcePCIMode" "true" option "nodri" This got my card working with 2D acceloration but only software acceleration for 3D.
