Hi,

I had a quick look. I'll test the TV-out in a day or two.

      case PCI_CHIP_RADEON_LZ:
  	info->IsMobility = TRUE;
  	info->ChipFamily = CHIP_FAMILY_RV100;
+	info->videoChip = VCHIP_RT1;
+	info->tvoutType = TVOUT_INTERNAL;
  	break;

You can get inspiration from the auto-detect routine in the tv_output 
patch. http://megahurts.dk/rune/tv_output.html (its GPL...)

-    /* R420 family not supported yet */
-    if (info->ChipFamily == CHIP_FAMILY_R420) return;

thank you!! =)
