I do not have any issues with the 5200 card - it works perfectly.
The only issue is when I run the live CD, It always detects the integrated built in graphics card and therefore makes the install very difficult .

Before doing the installation, run PCC from the liveCD and set up the card you want used. If it is suggested you reboot, obviously do not, but do log out and then back in so the proper driver will be used by the X server. When doing the installation, that information will carry over to the hard drive installation.

Of what use be there for joy, if not for the sharing thereof?

It's a long and messy story, but I do believe PCLinuxOS 2011.6 was the easiest Install I've had as yet. ( Just been 'fiddling' with PCLOS about three years, along with XP) 

I bungled; (what an interesting word  8) ) both my WinXP and PCLinuxOS installations. (Wasn't well at the time, uhum.  :-[
I no longer use any OS starting with a 'W', which has /is /will continue to be a great experience !
Asking for help is such a great idea when there's such helpful people here at the Forum  ;)
Grateful PCLinuxOS 2011.6 MiniMe, and LXDE mini User.
It's just so much fun !  ;D
Seriously now; Hardware and Software have to like each other for these Computers to work.
