[mythtv-users] Cant get X to work with FC5, Mythtv .19 and PVR-350

This is my second MythTV box. I blew up the first one, filled the hard drives, but it ran flawlessly for months.

I am trying to install MythTV (.19) on FC5 and am stuck at the "Running X on the PVR-350's TV-Out" in Jarod's HOWTO. I am also using references from the Wiki. When it comes to killing X and starting with the new xorg.conf file, it "can't start X". It never goes to the tv. Below is my xorg.conf file that I am using with an lspci of 01:07.0 and fb1. As a note, I could not make cat /var/log/messages |grep "iTVC15 TV out" but found it using "TV out".
Where did I screw up my xorg.conf?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ken

# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults).  For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
#       Option  "XkbModel"      "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
#       Option  "XkbModel"      "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
#       Option  "XkbLayout"     "de"
# or:
#       Option  "XkbLayout"     "de"
#       Option  "XkbVariant"    "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
#       Option  "XkbOptions"    "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
#       Option  "XkbOptions"    "ctrl:nocaps"
