I found that mythdora, the DVD does install so if I can use that, I would be happy to do another a nice fresh install with the 
fx5200 in there.

Apply KISS. Try installing a known good CD of mythbuntu using just a standard VGA monitor as a start with only the fx5200 in a 
system, Gxx0 card OUT of system.  One video card.   I still don't know whether you've ever seen the initial mythbuntu menu options?

Only once that is working move on to other outputs.

Alternatively order a vdpau card and be committed to spending the dosh, and repeat....
