NVIDIA GeForce 6200 Extremely Slow

[Keith Clark]

I am currently running Xubuntu 12.10 64 bit and have a NVIDIA 6200 video 
card with 512 MB of memory on it.

Using the NVIDIA 304.48 driver I am getting extremely slow performance.  
Ubuntu running Unity will not even start up.  I see it starting, get to 
my background showing and then nothing else shows up.  I have to 
ctl-alt-del and log in with a Xubuntu session to use my computer at all.

glxgears reports 2.5 fps.

Using the open source drivers yields only about 25 fps.

Any ideas on what is wrong here?  I files a bug report back in December 
but got nothing back yet.

I'm not sure where to go next with this.
