I have tried some intensive screen savers which all worked fine. I tested
the 3D with Tux Racer, and it rendered very nicely. Thats about the extent
of my testing in linux. In Windows, I havent had a game that didn't play
well on it, granted I cannot play Half Life 2 on the highest settings, but
I'm not really sure if anyone can. Overall its quality card, that should
give you some good performance at a good cost.

I can tell you that TV out works fine under windows, just never had a reason
to try it in linux. I have a friend who uses the ati debs that I build for
his all in wonder 9800(I think) and his TV out works fine, so I don't see
why it wouldn't work.
