Well, maybe you should return to Lucid until Nvidia supports their older
hardware with the new Xorg version [1]. For Maverick they have now
released a 96 driver [2] but it seems that does not yet really work [3].
I have a 7100 card and I'm using the 173 driver - I would expect that
your 7200 card should also use that driver. However I'm using Lucid and
I don't intend to run Maverick on this machine, so I don't have any
experience with Maverick + Nvidia.
