I recently upgraded to a 128MB NVidia GeForce FX 5200, since I dual boot and that extra ram comes in handy with other OSes I run.  Unfortunately, though the vga drivers recognize the card, they don't quite work, and the video becomes unusable.  Anyone know about these cards, or am I going to be faced with going back to my 32MB GeForce2 MX?  Thanks for the tips!

-Ben

 I had a go at rewriting the drivers based on the latest xfree86 which
should support the 5X00 series.  (see http://www.pobox.com/~nickw for the
src files). Ive only tested them on a ti4200 though.
