You figured it out but it isn't working?  What do you mean when you say

If your card is the same as mine, then that would be the standard setup. 
 TV adapter on the second output if I remember correctly.

Unlikely, if X is working on the monitor then your config should be ok.

Myth can't be the root of the problem.  However, Myth does require the X 
graphics and Xvideo acceleration to be working.

Not sure what you mean here.  I'm gonna assume that you recompiled your 
kernel with the mga.o module and that it is functional

We may need some more information to help you.

Is the framebuffer device working? (do you see the penguin at boot up?)

Do you have TV out working at all? Can you get a text terminal to come

If you get some output, but it looks like garbage, you probably need to 
tweak the framebuffer with fbset.
