You do further have an intel 845G chipset 
with integrated graphics. The PCI bus scan
does not show any ATI Vendor IDs (0x1002),
so i must assume that you are running with
the integrated graphics enabled. This 0:2:0 
is most likely the intel grafics device.

Try to switch that! Maybe you have to select your 
prefered graphics in the bios for the primary adapter.
Or maybe its a jumper somewhere on your mainboard.
Refer to your system's manual.

Note for the curious: the devicce on on 1:0c:0 is an ethernet network
controller.
