It also works with several other cards, but yes.

The other Radeon driver I'm talking about is the radeon driver. Note 
the capitalization. The open-source, included w/XF86 driver, for ATI's 
Radeon-series cards is the "radeon" driver, as opposed to ATI's own 
"fglrx" driver.

You won't be subject to the particular issues I was having w/my pcHDTV 
card, so in theory, it should work, but as always, ymmv...
