Use the vesa driver or use the proprietary nvidia driver. The nv driver
from xorg (or at least the version(s) supplies with Centos 4 do not
support my 6200 card. No amount of fiddling made any difference. The
proprietary driver supports it very nicely (if your computing philosophy
allows you to use it).
