You didn't mention if this is in a desktop or a laptop....

Assuming it is a desktop you might try:

1. If the motherboard has a GPU in it then maybe enabling that in the BIOS may
 provide a temporary solution.
2. Try to boot a live CD and see if the replacement card is seen and works 
there. If it does then take a look at the Xorg config to see what that 
distribution is using as a driver. This might carry over to the installed 
system.
