Do you still have a monitor connected?  As I recall, Linux can only 
display Xv accelerated video on one head.  Perhaps it is displaying on 
the monitor screen and you don't realize it if you don't still have it 
hooked up.  I believe you can fix this by either removing the monitor 
configuration from your xorg.conf or swapping them so the TV-out is 
primary.  I don't run dual-headed so I'm not sure exactly how to do this.
