Xorg doesn't really fail to start, it just seems to mess up with the BusID
directive.
If I set BusID either to one or the other card with the vesa driver it will
use the card defined as the primary adapter in the bios.

If I set the primary adapter to be the integrated intel card, it works just
fine, even with the ATI card plugged in.
