Looks like you're installing on a laptop? and since you have two funtions for your display controller, I'm guessing you have an extra monitor port on this thing. so one of these functions above is for the monitor out and one is for the built-in display. you'll have to figure out which is which. try running lspci -vv as root and see if you can get more information that may help. to specify which adapter to use when dpkg-reconfigure'ing xserver-xorg, you have to use the bus numbers above but convert them to hexadecimal. luckily for you that means nothing as they are the same in your case. so on the reconfigure page where it mentions which device to use specifying the bus:device.function use the following: PCI:00:02.0 for the first adaptor above. PCI:00:02.1 for the second adaptor above. please note that you've not given a whole lot of information so I'm guessing on a lot of this. what output do you get when you type startx? also, provide the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log. the most pertinent parts are the lines that begin (EE) as those are the errors.
