Alright guys... I think I'm narrowing down the problem a bit now that I was
able to view the XFree86.0.log log file.  Here's what I'm seeing in the log:

------------------------------------------------------
XFree86 Version 4.3.0 (Red Hat Linux release: 4.3.0-2)
Release Date: 27 February 2003
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6
Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.20-3bigmem i686 [ELF]
Build Date: 27 February 2003
Build Host: porky.devel.redhat.com

 Before reporting problems, check http://www.XFree86.Org/
 to make sure that you have the latest version.
Module Loader present
OS Kernel: Linux version 2.4.20-18.9 (bhcompile at porky.devel.redhat.com) (gcc

 Undefined Device "Videocard0" referenced by Screen "Screen0".
(EE) Problem parsing the config file
(EE) Error from xf86HandleConfigFile()

Fatal server error:
no screens found
------------------------------------------------------

So from the looks of it, it's not so much my "Videocard0" section that's the
problem... as it's my "Screen0" section that may be the issue here.  By no
means do I even claim to be able to diagnose problems like these, so I'll
leave it in the skilled hands of someone that knows what they're looking at
:)  So I'm pasting my full XF86Config file below.

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the

# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"

# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"

Any obvious stuff I'm missing in here that would be giving me these TV-out
problems??   Many thanks again for any help!
