So far, I'm not so lucky. I tried all all the composite options, but no 
go. Everything I get from /dev/video0 is black in all the cases.

The order of operations went like this:

1. Apply patch
2. make
3. load ivtv into the kernel
4. ivtvctl -p1 #select Composite input
5. cat /dev/video0 >file.mpg
6. mplayer file.mpg
7. ivtvctl --set-gpio dir=0xffff,val=0xffff
8. cat /dev/video0 >file.mpg
9. mplayer file.mpg
10. unload ivtv
11. change the source to use the next IVTV_CX25840_COMPOSITE value
12. repeat from step 2 until all composite values are tested.
