I have had a GeForce 6200 that has worked beautifully in Ubuntu for over
a year.
One thing, though. If you installed the nvidia-glx-new package, then
wanted to revert back to nvidia-glx, be aware that due to a bug in the
package, it leaves behind an empty file which is used as a switch to
tell Ubuntu what kernel module to load.
If you want nvidia-glx-new uninstalled, then type this after you do it:
$ sudo rm /lib/linux-restricted-modules/.nvidia.new.installed
I struggled with that for hours and hours before finally figuring out my
problem.
