Yes, it's a very old second-hand card. I don't need current high-speed
cards and all kinds of digital connectors, I just need simple 3D
capability from time to time, it's much more important that the graphics
is passive, than super fast and with two fans ;). Music has got the
highest priority here, it's nice if I could use the same computer for
animation and video, if I like to do that, no FPS, home entertainment,
overclocking etc.. A video composite output might be nice too. Even my
AGP NVIDA from the stone age would be good enough, if it wouldn't come
with a fan and if my current board would have an AGP slot. When I bought
my mobo I thought that I need HDMI etc., but I was mistaken.

The 7200GS is supported by the Certified 270-41.19 driver

I've been through the other side of this problem when purchasing very
new cards that aren't supported either. In response I've learned to
poke around the NVidia website to determine what alpha/beta driver I
needed to run to get it to work. Here's where I went to find the
driver that current supports the chipset you mentioned:

Arch Linux might be interesting, I need to read more or just will test
it. Gentoo, hm? OOTB (is there an 'OOTB'?) without ALSA?

What nvidia card do you have?
Maybe extra/nvidia 270.41.19-1 (the updated one), nouveau or even
nouveau-git would be better for your video card.
If you really need a legacy nvidia driver, then you might have
problems with recent xorg versions. You can manually choose to use an
older version of xorg if you really need.
