   Unfortunately, the only card I can think of that is best suited is an 
ATi All-in-Wonder card.  Any chance of trying out XFree86 4.3.0 to see if 
there were any technical fixes for the radeon card?  Or maybe it's the 
timings (VESA or custom)?

   Is that motherboard's AGP slot that restrictive to require AGP8x 
cards?  Could AGP4x work with it?  AGP8x cards aren't in abundance and it'd 
baffle me if it cannot take 4x cards.
