I'm using this:-
Sapphire ATI Radeon 9200SE 128MB DDR 8x AGP S-Video & TV Output
I've not used the S-video or TV outputs, but I've recently built two systems
with them along with Intel D865PERL motherboards, one for home, one for work.
The board is a reasonable price I think (GBP25-95 before tax from ebuyer) and
they both "just worked" with FC3, although I've not gone looking for any
upgraded drivers.
$soft XP is also happy with the board if you need to dual boot.
Hope I've helped.
