For the 5200, I would install the 9632 drivers.
Here is my xorg.conf for reference on getting the SVIDEO to work on a
regular TV:

Driver Problem?
All,
I installed my Geforce 5200 today and it was looking great, right up to the
point that X windows started and then the screen turned into a pixelated
garbled mess. Based on what I've read, this is a driver problem.
My Current Driver Version is:
nvidia-graphics7184-kmdl-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6-1.0_7184-74.2.fc6
nvidia-graphics-devices-1.0-5.fc6.at
and according to /proc/driver/nvidia/cards , I have a GeForce FX5200
Model: GeForce FX 5200
According to X, it is using the "nv" driver
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nv"
EndSection
and I added the configmonitor stanza's but no luck.
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
HorizSync 30 - 50
VertRefresh 60.0 # Use 50.0 in UK / Europe (PAL-x, except PAL-M)
EndSection
If anyone has any ideas on how to get the S-VIDEO working properly I would
appreciate your guidance.
-Michael
