Denis,
Going back in the myth-users archives I found a post from me a while ago
where I posted my entire xorg.conf. This was my configuration using a
regular CRT Tube RCA television with an Nvidia card. Of course you'll have
to modify the driver options to suit your ATI card:

Load "dbe"
SubSection "extmod"

Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx"

There might be a slight difference in the way that I ran my distro, I
didn't use a login manager such as GDM or KDM when booting into X.
Most of the time when I needed to switch over to the TV-Output I would
change the "Screen" directive under "ServerLayout" to "TV"
instead of "LCD" and restart the X Server.
Hope this helps.
