I found the "ATI" driver (TVOut patch really) from the Gatos project, and
I have TVOut with DGA. I am watching Mythbusters on my TV through my
TVCard using Kubuntu Feisty.

Still, on my desktop, I went nVidia about two years ago. I will *NEVER*
recommend ATI again. The nVidia card is awesome. I liked it so much, when
I got a new system that didn't have AGP, I got a PCI-EX nVidia card. I
didn't re-install or anything, it just ran.

I prefer "freedom software" over proprietary, but I understand competition
and business, and can accept good proprietary support for my patronage of
a hardware vendor. nVidia has, ATI has not, I think the decision is clear.
