I will take a guess here. Remember our advice is free
and worth every penny.

I had similar errors when I tried to run system-config-display
after I had edited my xorg.conf along the lines suggested
by Jared's guide for pvr-350 output. It may be that the
system-config-display script is not able to parse a hand edited xorg.conf,
even though the file is functional.

It is not clear to me that one should run system-config-display.
As far as I could tell, it does not know much about using a TV
as a monitor so I did things by hand.
