Any experts on X/TVOut/frame buffer stuff?

This is somewhat off topic. I don't know if the problem is X, frame
buffer, ivtv, or combination of all of them.

I've been working for days with the ivtv-devel and mythtv lists on this
problem. I have a PVR-350 that I'm trying to setup with MythTV. For a
while I couldn't even get X to load once I loaded ivtv's frame buffer
support(ivtv-fb). Switching my tuner card to a different slot seemed to
help and I can finally load X after loading all the ivtv drivers. 

Problem is I'm not seeing anything on the TV through the frame buffer.
This is how I load everything:

I go to initlevel 3.
Load all the drivers up to ivtv-fb (script is here:
http://www.obrien-pifer.com/mythtv/loadivtv.sh)
Load X with "init 5". IT FINALLY LOADS 
Then I login as my mythtv user
Open a terminal, su, and run mythbackend
Open another terminal and do:
        $export DISPLAY=:0.1
        $mythfrontend -v

I see the verbose stuff scroll in the terminal for mythfrontend, but I
get nothing on my TV Out.... AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!! 

If it helps my info can be found here:

If anyone can help I would appreciate it. 

Thanks,
James
