 	What is the chipset of the video?  ATI radeon?  Have you installed 
the proprietary drivers?  I'm assuming you're using composite or s-video 
connections to the TV.

 	What you describe is that the BIOS is setting up the TVOUT and 
works so long as you are in text-mode.  When X fires up, it doesn't set up 
the tvout.  You have to have support in your x-driver for the tvout.  Need 
more information:

- Video chipset
- Connection method (s-vid?)
- Driver
- Relevant portions of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf configuration
- Relevant portions of the /var/log/Xorg.0.log

 	THEN people can help.
