Alternative: qualified yes, as technically Fedora does provide Wayland, by 
default even, but not for every WM or DE.

Suitable: highly doubtful for a gfxchip designed well over a decade ago.

If you need suggestion for a cheap replacement from eBay, look at PCIe Radeon 
cards X300, X550, X600, X700, X800, X850. AGP maybe only Radeon 7500, as Radeon 
9### has shown to be troublesome too, though my 9000 does work OK with certain 
cmdline options.

Newer low cost PCIe cards I have working in F25 with KDE include Radeon HD5450 
and GeForce 210.
