I would think you may want at least fbdevhw , freetype
and maybe v4l (did you compile it into your kernel?) enabled
as modules here, although looking at your X output it
seems to indicate fbdevhw loaded anyway. The error implied
an invalid FB call. I take it your ivtv drivers were
compiled against the kernel version you're using with the
right I2C options in the makefile? 

I'm afraid I never really investigated the X options much, so this
is guesswork, but I attach my (working) XF86Config built using a
combination of XFree86 --configure, Torstens and the ivtv tools.

Make sure your fb device and busid lines are correct too... if your
other video card is opening a FB device I suppose its possible
you're trying to run X on the wrong one.
