That was it!!  I can see part of X on the TV now!  So it seems that the 
instructions for this line in the XF86Config were wrong.  You are NOT 
supposed to use 0x... but rather just the decimal equivalent.  Thanks for the 
tip!!

Now I have another set of issues. I´ll start with the simplest two:

1)  I can only see part of my desktop on the TV.  There is a border all around 
which is not being shown... like my desktop is bigger than the TV.  How can I 
fix that?

2)  I started MythTV to see how it looked and it looks Ok (not great) and he 
KDE panel is visible on top of everything else.  I don´t see this when trying 
MythTV on my monitor (ie not the TV).  What am I doing wrong?

Here´s my full /etc/X11/XF86Config.  you´ll notice I left the settings for my 
monitor, so it´s easy to switch between the monitor and the TV.

Thanks!
