xorg.conf doesn't show any cards, it's just a label.  You can put 
anything there.
At this point we need to get the original card working. What I would do 
is first check the CMOS/BIOS settings.  Normally under Integrated 
Peripherals the is a setting VGA Boot from or init, set this to AGP or 
onboard.  The machine should then use the original video.  I would also 
restore the original xorg.conf to get it back to the state it was in 
before the new card was installed.  If we can get it back to that state 
we have a known functioning system to start from.
