you can install the right driver using 'envy'.

install envy:
Code:
sudo apt-get install envyng-core
driver installation:
Code:
sudo envyng -t
for the terminal interface. then follow the instructions.

i did it for my geforce2mx on a 1.2ghz athlon and it is working fine as far as i tested.

I got XBMC Live installed to HD working with Nvidia FX 5200 AGP and TV out using the 173 driver. I used envy-core to remove the wrong Nvidia drivers then reboot and install the 173 one. It works not perfectly. Using an AMD2200. If all your videos are encoded in older xvid format and not H.264 it should be fine but not perfect. My daughter doesn't mind.

Try this xorg.conf

The 5200 requires the use of the "legacy" drivers. The standard Nvidia drivers will not work with that chipset.
