If you haven't zapped the PRAM and/or reset the NVRAM (or pressed the
CUDA reset button), this would be a good thing to do. When you're
adding new hardware, it's best to start from scratch as far as
anything stored in non-volatile memory goes.
I'm thinking the problem with the Radeon 9200 is the old pins 3 & 11
issue. The 9200 is normally an AGPx8 card, and needs tape or
modification to disable pins 3 & 11.
You can read about the 9200 here:

Here is the pins 3 & 11 info here:

I'd go ahead and install Leopard, it's gotta be better than messing
with Panther.
I'm not up-to-speed on Airport issues, but I think some people add a
"$" sign at the beginning of their password under certain encryption
protocols to get the password to recognize. For example, if your
password was "password" you'd enter "$password" instead and it would
recognize.
