Well depending on the video card you have, you have to tell it to use TV
out. If you have an nVidia based card, take a look at
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4.nvidia-tvout.sample. You shouldn't mess around w/
/etc/modules or /etc/modules.conf. Did you complete the setup after
rebooting? Have you taken a look at the KnoppMyth forum?

Again, have you taken a look at the KnoppMyth forum?
