You can always change your xf86 configuration
to use the other card, not a problem.

I had the same problem. I *think* this is how
i solved it:
as root, run xf86config
answer all of the questions
when complete, i think you will find a file
in your /root directory called XF86Config.
go to your /etc/X11/ directory and rename your
current XF86Config-4 file:
mv XF86Config-4 XF86Config-4.SAVE
Then, move and rename the /root/XF86Config file
to /etc/X11/ like so:
mv /root/XF86Config /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
I am pretty sure that is how i did it.

Will you want to run Gnome or KDE? I would use
gdm and like it, i try to stay away from KDE. But
if you want to run KDE, i recommend you use kdm
of course.
You can change the default display manager editing:
/etc/X11/default-display-manager
There is also a tool to do this graphically:
dpkg-reconfigure gdm

Pull the plug, plug it back in :-)
