As far as I know, once a video card has been connected to a TV, it
enters a different video mode and won't allow any thing to be displayed
at a resolution higher than 640x480. XFree86 usually errors out when
trying to start it because the video cards has returned some wierd error
code when X tried to initialize the video.

Getting it to work for you may be very trial and error.
