The 7200GS is supported by the Certified 270-41.19 driver
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-270.41.19-driver.html
I've been through the other side of this problem when purchasing very

poke around the NVidia website to determine what alpha/beta driver I

needed to run to get it to work. Here's where I went to find the

driver that current supports the chipset you mentioned:
