This means a panel and TV can't be used at the same time. When VBEModes is set to false TV works (not entirely correct, but I'll file another bug for that).

When using VBEModes, the VGA bios does most of the work. Especially 
here, the ActiveDevice option will not be honored. That means you need 
to set the output devices (VGA,TV,DVI...) you want to have enabled 
directly in the bios.

The jumpy TV out with VT1625 without VBEModes is a different matter.
VT1625 support in openchrome is not in a really good state at the 
moment. Latest trunk svn may or may not give you better results 
depending on which mode you try to use.
