I'm currently using an ATI Xpert 98 (Rage 64) card.  I had absolutely no problems setting it up... as close to plug-and-play as you'll
get.  It's connected to a brand new 19 inch Futura that I have running at 1600x1200, 16bpp (this video card doesn't have enough RAM for
more), but it works just fine, no problems.
