The default is the first server layout, so running freevo -fs uses this one.
IIRC, the others can be started with startx -- -layout <name>

Try a different server configuration for the TV and the PC Screen, using
a dual head set-up only complicates your testing.
Check the /var/log/Xorg.X.log for warnings and errors. You certainly
don't need GLX for a TV, freevo doesn't do 3D graphics. The useful
feature is the XvMC which save CPU on MPEG video.
