I have e EN15000 board, have issues with TV-out as well.

I have openchrome versioned from 08/10/2006, and drm from 08/02/2006.

I have pretty much the same problem. The problem, I think, is that the X
server is trying to use the same resolution on both the TV and on the
LCD (for me), and since this is not possible for the TV, it garbles the
output. I can enable the following in my Device section to have the TV
work, but then the LCD fails:
        Option          "VBEModes" "true"   # Comment in for TV-out

I have not yet succeeded in making both the LCD and the TV (NTSC) work
at the same time yet. I'm using composite.

An additional question to yours, if you don't mind: How does one get the
framebuffer to work? I had it working at one point, but now it does not
work. It works with grub, but as soon as it displays the "unpacking
kernel" thing, the output on my TV goes blank. I would like to have the
framebuffer working so that I do not need to have X running to play back
movies.
