I've seen that when I tried to set up the TV out as an additional
display on my mythbox.  Once I set it to be the only one (per
instructions links from Jarod's howto), everything works ok.  Here's the
relevant parts of the XF86Config:


Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "Default Layout"
#       Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
#       Screen      1  "Screen1" LeftOf "Screen0"
        Screen      0  "Screen1" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier  "NTSC"
        HorizSync  30-68
        VertRefresh 50-120
        Mode "720x480"
          # D: 34.563 MHz, H: 37.244 kHz, V: 73.897 Hz
          DotClock 34.564

          VTimings 480 484 488 504
          Flags    "-HSync" "-VSync"
        EndMode
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "PVR350"
        Driver      "fbdev"

        ### change fb0 to whatever your card grabbed
        Option      "fbdev" "/dev/fb0"

        ### change the busid to whatever is reported by lspci. Note that
        ### output of lspci is hex, so add a preceding "0x" to the BusID
        BusID "0:0x10:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier  "Screen1"
        Device      "PVR350"
        Monitor     "NTSC"
        DefaultDepth 24
        DefaultFbbpp 32
        Subsection "Display"
          Depth 24
          FbBpp 32
          Modes "720x480"
        EndSubsection
EndSection

HTH!
