Need video card recommendation

I'm in a strange situation. I replaced my motherboard today with a new
one, and my video card won't work in it (It's an AGP8X slot). I have the
box up and running in text mode, but not having X makes it hard for me
to work.
I took the video card out of my Windows box. It's a ATI All In Wonder
7500 Radeon. It should work with XFree86 4.2.0 under Red hat 7.3, but
every time I startx, I get an "Invalid sync" message from my monitor
(which I have the specs entered correctly for). I tried CtlAlt+ to cycle
modes, but no joy. I found a web page indicating that you had to set the
driver to "ati" for it to work, but no luck there either. I would love to
get this working instead of buying another card, but it doesn't look
promising right now.
So I'm looking for a new video card. Prolly buying it tomorrow.
REQUIRED: AGP8x, at least 32MB, works well with XFree86 4.2.0
DESIRED: TV in, works with video4linux, commonly available
NOT NEEDED: SOOPERDOOPER gaming, speed.
Thanks.
