S-Video is still input #6.  See below.

My recommendation:  to verify that the problem is not with inputs, do 
not set an input. The new drivers will, by default, use both Composite 
and S-Video.  Most likely, though, this will still fail.

If so, please post the ivtv init information.  It can be retrieved from 
your system log file (assuming /var/log/messages) with:

tac /var/log/messages |
sed -n '/=  END INIT IVTV  =/,/= START INIT IVTV =/p;
      /= START INIT IVTV =/q' |
tac
