The MGA200/400 with TV out work fine and don't have a noisy fan.
I haven't tried it, but there is also a framebuffer driver in the
kernel that would allow you to use the TV out from the
console. Anyway, X11 works fine and has a good picture quality. 
You could also go without a graphics card and connect via network from
a notebook/subnotebook. 
My favorite solution is connecting with an ipaq and a wavelan card,
but that's a little expensive.
