The problem you are facing appears to be a hardware problem, and according to
Xavier Bachelot (one of the openchrome devs) it is likely to be in the i2c
bus. He suggests forcing the only active output to be the CRT, to try to
workaround the incorrect mode used when something is detected on the tv out.
Try by adding the following line to the Device section of your xorg.conf:
Option "ActiveDevice" "CRT"
If you have no Device section, add the following to /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Option "ActiveDevice" "CRT"
EndSection
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
