Thanks Scott, but it used to work with both.  Since yesterday, I got 
desperate to get this box working, so I downloaded MythDora 4 and 
started from scratch.  It worked great!  I had a couple of minor 
hitches, but it really did a nice job.  And guess what, both monitor and 
TV work again!

I definitely missed some issues in xorg.conf and driver match-up, which 
is probably where my original problem happened, but they have the right 
combination for my setup.  Kudos to the MythDora team  :)
