Hello.
Check out http://gatos.sf.net/ for more information about your card.

 From the Supported Cards page:

   All-in-Wonder Radeon 7500 (RV200)

   Should work fine with 4.2.0 drivers. Both XvImage (YUV->RGB overlay
and
   scaling) and TV-in should work fine. There were success reports with
NTSC
   standard. Video capture should work as well. 3d acceleration should
work
   fine. Wireless (RF) remote control should work.

FYI, I have a AIW Rage 129Pro 32MB AGP and have had zero problems
watching TV in linux. The video capture worked back when I tried it (a
while ago) but was a big unstable. Probably more stable now. The TV out
was not really working too well, in fact it was working pretty badly.
Don't know how that's going.

Good luck
