do you use nvidia 173xx? The 6200 is supported by the nvidia driver.
I'm not? If you read it again you will see I removed it

I don't understand you. Of course you had to remove nvidia-173xx, as it
is incompatible with xorg-server 1.8.
But you don't need nvidia-173xx for your card, and never needed it. You
can simply use the latest nvidia driver - which would eliminate the
problems you're having right now.
Also, if you really want to use a free driver, don't use nv, it sucks -
use nouveau instead.
OK thanks I'll give that a go
