I was under the impression that only the W520 with its 3-mode Quadro

Sorry to burst your bubble, but you're not close. You simply forced an
ATI xorg.conf that isn't even meant for your system.
The card is always on and you have no way to access its output unless

You're probably just seeing the Intel GPU act up because you are running
dual-head.
fglrx (Catalyst) drivers only support hyrid graphics if you have an AMD
Llano CPU. So, there's no switching method for the muxed dv7-60xx and
the muxless dv7-61xx which use an Intel Sandy Bridge CPU.
