What's the screen resolution you are using for your TV? Mine is standard
(non HD) TV... 1024x768 shouldn't work there, should it?
Can you post the whole xorg.conf file (or send directly to my email if it's
too long for the list post)?
Thanks!

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.
