For any problem like this, the first stop is Google. If you use the search
term 'linux 6200 A-LE', the first entry takes you to a list of cards known to
work with linux. Your card is there, and said to work with the nv driver.
That means that you don't have a driver problem, and your problem is probably
relevant only to the install. Try a text install, as Antonio suggests. You
will be able to configure your graphics card and monitor after the install.
