Is it possible to force the chipset?

Is it possible to force the chipset, instead of auto detecting it? When I try 
to use the 'nv' driver, I get  "(EE) No devices detected.". It is a GeForce 
6200, and from what I understand the nv driver supports the 6200. If i change 
the 'nv' to 'vesa' I get video, and all, just not at the good resolutions, or 
accelerated rates.

This is the excert from my xorg.conf

        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "nv"
        VendorName  "nVidia Corporation"
        BoardName   "Unknown Board"
        ChipSet     "GeForce 6200"
        BusID       "PCI:2:0:0"
        VideoRam    131072

This is what I get in my Xorg.0.log

(--) PCI:*(2:0:0) nVidia Corporation unknown chipset (0x0221) rev 161, Mem @
