Firstly,
Warren,
Thank you for posting this. It looks nothing like mine, which is based 
on Jarod's (for an M10000). I will have to do some more playing.

Sean,

Make sure that you have set the BIOS on the motherboard for output 
through both the S-Video AND the VGA outputs.

The BIOS controls whether you get output through these ports.

The first time I tried to output to a TV with S-video I got nothing...

Sounds like you may have the same problem.
This is from Jarod's guide and is a section of his xorg.conf for an 
M10000. Details will be different. He has the monitor commented out. I 
haven't played with having both working at once (not sure its possible), 
but the available switches imply that you can. He has both "ActiveDevice 
TV" and "ActiveDevice CRT,TV" commented out....(huh?)
