It looks like you have loaded the framebuffer driver
as well which is overlaying the video. You can turn it
off temporarily with

ivtvctl -nolocalalpha -globalalpha -alpha 0 
which makes the framebuffer vanish.
If you want to run X on it then you need to set the
alpha back to 255 so that X is displayed.
