It sure does work on Linux, seen screen shots of Rhide 1.6.0 snapshots
running under X built with the TV\, Rhide CVS snapshots.

From both of your responses it looks like you do not know that both TV
and Allegro are maintained and the main developers have been moving to
Linux.

I suggest you go and have a look at the TV and Allegro home pages at
sourceforge and have a good read about where they are up to and what
they can do.
