nvidia 8200 chipset

[steve]

Hi,

is anyone familiar with msi k9n2gm board with nvidia 8200 chipset?  Just
built a new mythbox with this, and Ive had better luck and performance
with an athlon xp and a 5200 card. (bought most everything from newegg,
and believe it or not had excellent linux reviews the only reason i
chose it) sad, because this box should be smokin fast, 3.2 ghz athlon
x2, and 4 gig ram but I cant get any accelerated driver to work
properly, theres 3 that show up in hardware drivers 173 180 and some
other one.  All I get is a garbled screen on all, have to kill gdm,
change nvidia to nv in xorg to get x back again, but only 640x480 on my
42" lcd, looks ridiculous.

using 8.10, which may be my first mistake, all other machines are 8.04
and run without a hiccup...anyone have this 8200 chipset on 8.10?  and
what driver do you use? an older one?
