Hey Dave,
Did you fix this problem?
I had this issue and found something that worked for me. Anyway, i'll
post my solution so hopefully someone else will find it in the archives
should they need it in the future.
Basically, you can tell fglrx that the tv-out is the primary all you
like but it seems to ignore it (check out the X-Server log file).
Anyway, the bit I added was getting Overlay onto the TV as it can only
be on one output device and is by default on the primary.
I have the following in XF86Config-4:
Option "DesktopSetup" "0x0100"
Option "MonitorLayout" "AUTO, STV"
Option "OverlayOnCRT2"
The last one is the important one i think.
I'll note that i don't actually have a CRT connected.
Hope that helps. If you found a different solution i would be interested
in knowing what it was.
Cheers,
Simon
