What desktop?
I bet you are running out of graphics memory. The FX 5200 is an old card
without much RAM (128MB?). A few years ago I found with a 32MB card certain
windows / areas would go black with the proprietary driver. Your luck may
vary with different desktop environments.
It'd be worth a shot to try the legacy proprietary nvidia driver. Picking from
an RPM repo will make 'undoing' the change and kernel updates easier.
Hope that helps!
