Rename the xorg.conf & reboot. You can fiddle with restarting etc., but
I'd just reboot unless you have a reason not to.

Without xorg.conf, the system _should_ see the new controller &
configure accordingly. Of course check System|Administration|Additional
Drivers to see if the cotroller needs any propritary firmware.
