I assume you have a correct "BusID" param in that stanza as well?

Looking at your earlier post, I'm going to assume that "no luck" means
that X is starting, but doesn't display anything on the TV. The logs
don't seem to indicate that X is crashing (I'm assuming that signal 11
is from you killing the server).
You may have a problem with the linux console being tied up by your
primary video card. It happened to me: my built-in video card got
/dev/fb0, and the linux console settled on that. X didn't want to
start to a different console, so nothing showed up on the TV, even
though X started and didn't post any errors.
If this is the case, you can try moving the default console to an
"unused" virtual term. Add this to your /etc/lilo.conf:
append="video=vc:64-64"
(if there's already an append line, add it to the existing values)
Then re-run lilo and reboot.
If you'd like, I can send you my entire X config, which uses a TV-350
and ignores the built-in VGA video card.
Hope that helps,
Jason
