How to install multiple video cards on RHL8.0?

I have a P3 Celeron box with integrated video card (i810) on the mother
board. Now I want to add a PCI video card and use it instead of the
integrated i810 video card. My RedHat 8.0 boots up and detects the new
PCI video card and configures it fine. But when it's trying to start up
the X server RHL8.0 seems confused and couldn't start X at all.

Is there any way to disable i810 and tell RedHat to use the PCI video
card instead, or better if RedHat 8.0 can handle two video cards then I
can just switch back and forth and compare the performance?

Thanks for your help.
