so here's the story so far... sadly, it hasn't progressed far at all:
after some help from my fellow gentoo'ers, i looked into my kernel compilation
and checked the settings. here's what i found (parts i thought to be
unrelated are omitted):
Character devices:
I2C support --->
<*> I2C device interface
<*> I2C /proc interface (required for hardware sensors)
<M> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support)
<M> ATI Radeon
Multimedia devices
<*> Video For Linux
Video For Linux --->
[*] V4L information in proc filesystem
--- Video Adapters
< > Mediavision Pro Movie Studio Video For Linux
< > CPiA Video For Linux
< > SAA5249 Teletext processor
< > SAB3036 tuner
< > Stradis 4:2:2 MPEG-2 video driver (EXPERIMENTAL)
< > Zoran ZR36057/36060 Video For Linux
< > Zoran ZR36120/36125 Video For Linux
Sound
< > BT878 audio dma
<*> Creative SBLive! (EMU10K1)
[*] Creative SBLive! MIDI
< > TV card (bt848) mixer support
what you see above are my current settings... for those of you who have your
tv working, am i missing anything? anyone care to share their config file?
also (possibly of more importance, this is the output of running "X" from the
command line as root in a console:

thanks so much for the continuing patience of the group... i just miss my tv
and really don't understand what i'm missing....
