I'm coming into the middle of this, but if you reinstalled a system just
to get an ext3 file system, you should know that converting a file
system from ext2 to ext3 is trivial. I forget the exact syntax, but it's
something like:
tunefs -j /dev/hda3
(to convert hda3 from ext2 to ext3). Then just edit /etc/fstab so it
says ext3 instead of ext2, and remount the partition. Done.

Yes, that is correct.
Here's my two video cards via "lspci", and the relevant lines in my
XF86Config-4 file:
0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128
RL/VR AGP
0000:00:0b.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86c325 [ViRGE] (rev 06)
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Rage 128"
Driver "ati"
BusID "PCI:01:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Diamond Stealth 64 S3"
Driver "s3virge"
BusID "PCI:0:11:0"
EndSection
Also, for most x86 systems, with only one video card, the BusID line is
usually optional. It is needed for most other architectures, or if, like
me, you have multiple graphics adapters.
