The 5200 is usually a pretty good card, it supports both Quartz
Extreme Core Image. Have you checked the firmware revision in
System Profiler against other versions available at the MacElite
ROM repository?:
No, wasn't aware, and thanks much for the link.
These cards are usually solid,
Here's what the Tiger 10.4.11 System Profiler had to say about the
5200 when it was installed:

Another oddity with this GeForce 5200 FX. It was advertised as 128
MB, and shows up in System Profiler with 256 MB VRAM. There are two
labels on the card itself. One says:
FX 5200 128MB/128bit DDR
The other:
ZO52-CAGP
5200 128 MB AGP

There are likely some issues here. This card is made by Zogis, so
it's a flashed PC card for certain. As far as I can tell, all the
128MB cards were 64bit cards. It appears the 128bit cards were all
256MB.
Thanks for all the good information and the offer to help, Kris. I

Conclusion: There is no joy to be had from this GeForce 5200 FX
graphics card. Tiger booting problems and kernel panics during
booting, restarts, and occasionally while running applications
(Console, Safari, Mail), and possibly an OS 9 problem because of it.
I can't absolutely make that
Removed new video card and reinstalled old one - immediate problem
solved. No booting problems. OS 9 problem (see below) has changed
from Login Error forcing a restart to Application Login has quit
unexpectedly with no apparent ill effect.
Each of the panics in this log show the crash
The booting process on my Sawtooth has gone absolutely haywire in the
aftermath of some major upgrading. I hope it's OK to post a crash
report here from a failed boot attempt (this particular failure was of
the blue screen and eventual message in several languages to restart
