I have a similar card and am also partial to the Intel shared memory
jobbies. I find their 3d performance acceptable for desktop
acceleration and the odd Quake II and tuxracer games. Why would you not
bother with 3d on those cards?
As for the problem, I believe the 7000 and 7200 are actually different
cores where the 7000 requires the "ati" driver and the 7200 the "radeon"
driver...but I could be completely wrong, but this

seems to confirm what I've been told.
