I'm not familiar with Jarrod's guide, but if you've loaded the
ivtv framebuffer module (which takes over as the system
console), then that's what I would expect to happen when you
exit X.  

What did you expect/want to happen?

Attached is my XF86Config-4 device.  Note, I'm Debian, so I may
have a different version of XF86. The section that specifies
the driver for the 350 is shown below:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "PVR-350"
        Driver          "ivtvdev"
        Option          "fbdev" "/dev/fb0"
        BusID           "0:10:0"
EndSection
