OK, 
The first thing to do is check the kernel configuration. If you 
have a distro that has the option 
of a default configuration. Chances are that the drivers are modularized 
and the hardware detection 
procedure will activate a module for each video chip. I don't know what 
your distro is, but 
they all have some mechanism for activating modules at bootup. Check 
that first. 

The lspci is a command also worth running.
