    Don't know if you want to hear this but I tried "upgrading" to the 5200
    and it did the same thing. I never could get it resolved so I ended up
    going back to the GeForce3 card. I hear the the 5900 has been used
    successfully with Linux in general but don't take my word on it. Good
    luck.
