    Not entirely sure, ATI are pretty poor with linux support. You might have to get the proprietary drivers from the site and compile the module.

    Don't have any experience with ATI (I tend to stay clear of it as much as I can), but enabling the TV out is just another screen in your X config.

    The drivers with debian are open source, i think they are reverse engineered. They tend not to be as full featured as the drivers from ATI.
