You have to use the nv driver. They are buggy but you get a working X11.
Here is my XF86Config:
Section "Device"
# no known options
Identifier "nVidia GeForce 5200"
Driver "nv"
VendorName "nVidia GeForce 5200"
BoardName "nVidia GeForce 5200"
#BusID
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "nVidia GeForce 5200"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 16
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768"
EndSubsection
EndSection
Hope this help.
Regards,
Andrea
