Not a problem. But such setup requires learning a bit about
XF86Config-4 syntax (most usefull info is in XF86Config-4 manual
and adhoc driver manuals "man nv", "man s3" for example).
You can try letting just one card in the box to have reliable
configuration from teh debain x configurator (dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xfree86).

i guess either "vesa" or "vga" replaces it. Though i cannot
swear.
(i usually see vesa used).
About the nvidia card the bug was already reported:
xserver-xfree86: please add support for NVidia 0x0185 (GeForce
MX400) to woody XFree86 : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=283257
and told "wontfix". I should have checked in your report but you
use : 4.1.0-16woody4 and your nvidia card was not supported by this
release.
The new card support won't be added to woody, sorry. Only
important security issues are backported in the official tree.
(but your nv card is supported by sarge xfree86).
Cheers

PS: and well sorry to have bothered maintainers so soon in the
