The 5200 is rather an "old" card and perhaps it would be better to run
under the (appropriate) legacy nVidia driver rather than the latest
(..14.19)? Just a thought.
Officially it is supported by latest driver, and not with legacy, but right
now it runs with legacy 1.0-9762.
Though, it doesn't matter which driver is in use. I locks with both, and I
would like to check with somebody having the same card, or have idea what
would be the difference between how it is started in runlevel 3 vs. 5.
I have the 5200 on the 3rd computer but it hasn't been upgraded to the
latest kernel (for 10.2) so I cannot comment.
However, I can add this: I had problems with the latest kernel (for
10.2) and the nVidia driver for the 5500 and the 6600 cards. I compiled
the latest driver (...19) for the new kernel and even though the first
reboot worked fine and everything worked "according to plan", the next
time I booted both computers, after they were turned off, both computers
went into a rebooting cycle after each reached the point where the
nVidia driver was being required (by xorg).
The only way I solved this was by booting into level 3, uninstalling the
compiled nVidia driver, doing "make cloneconfig" in the usual place, and
then recompiling the nVidia driver (with "sh.....etc). Never had to do
this before but this new kernel appears to be "something else".
Try recompiling the driver as I did and see if this helps. You've got
nothing to lose......
Cheers.
