radeon 9000 (rv250) tV-out troubles

[Charles Hibbits]

I realize this has been discussed to some degree, but I may not be understanding the instructions correctly so I apologize for another thread.  I have an Sapphire Radeon 9000 64MB with TV out. Everything was running fine with the patched opensource driver on Ubuntu Feisty (xorg 7.2 I believe). Saturday I upgraded to Gutsy (xorg 7.3) and I lost the tv out.  At first the gnome X configuration tool set it to a VESA driver which produced black and white TV out.  When I use the XORG ATI driver the TV out goes away.

After searching around I found the following commands can be issued to make it work sorta:

# xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600
# xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600
# xrandr --output S-video --set tv_standard ntsc
# xrandr --output S-video --off
# xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600

The problem is this is not static, after reboot I loose the TV out again. Also My main usage of this computer is to run mythtv, but the video will not play on the TV, only the monitor.  I assume this has something to do with it not being treated as a primary display or something to that effect.  I assume there is something wrong with my xorg.conf, but I have not been able to find the right options. Here is my xorg.conf:
