Ok, I'll search and see if I can find anything relevant.
I wish therer was another driver I could try, but even the noveau[2]
driver doesn't support the GeForce 8200 yet.

It is a bit frustrating that all these "releases" (of code, docs and
whatnot) from nVidia hasn't made things better for endusers (yet). Oh
well, that is just the way it is.

Hmm, I wonder if it is supported in the GeForce 8200 then?
