Some people reported TV out related problems prior to the 2.2 relese, 
but I was hoping we'd quashed the major bugs for that release.

If it's possible for you to build a new driver yourself (should be 
fairly easy if you're running rawhide), you can try applying the 
attached patch to tweak your TV output properties.  It may be that the 
brightness or other values are wrong for your configuration.

Once it's installed, you can use 'xrandr --prop' to see the current 
values and 'xrandr --output TV --set CONTRAST 20' for example to set 
the contrast.
