Solved.
I downloaded the linux drivers from ATI website. The rpm they have
didn't work since it's missing a dependency that yum doesn't
install.
So I downloaded the 40 mb installer and ran it.
I did the following in the terminal.
aticonfig --help ( This explains how to setup your driver for a
tv )
aticonfig --initial
aticonfig --enable-monitor=tv --tv-standard-type=VIDEO
and that's it. Start kdm from the console.
Selinux needs to be disabled or a new policy created that allows the
driver to function. Otherwise X doesn't start.

Hi again Ej!
Thanks for the report. I recently picked up a 16MB video card at a
used shop (about $3 if I recall) and it has video in/out. I now
enjoy
the increased screen resolution (1280x1024 @ 32bits) and after this
exchange will find a cord to test the video out. We have a new
camcorder and so the video in may prove useful (USB already is
useful).
SELinux is certainly on my reading/learning list! Here is a
starter I
found on the web:
http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/
writing_SELinux_policy_guide/index.html
Enjoy!

I forgot to mention that you should also apply the following.
aticonfig --force-monitor=tv
kill and restart kdm for it to take effect.
As to selinux, enter the following in the terminal:
# /usr/sbin/semanage fcontext -a -t textrel_shlib_t /usr/lib/xorg/
modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so
# /sbin/restorecon -v /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drives/fglrx_drv.so
Set it back to enforce if it wasn't. Kill kdm. Reconfigure your X
with aticonfig. Start kdm, it should work with selinux now.

Hello Ej,
your thread in the fedora-list regarding enabling the TV output
was helping me a lot. Now I can watch DVD's on our TV Set!
. . if there weren't a minor problem: I don't get any output on
the primary laptop screen. No errors in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log
file, just no picture on the laptop screen. I can login though,
but I have to fly blind.
Question: do you have an idea how to switch Screen's, i.e. cycle
through the laptop, external VGA port and TV output ports?
Any ideas?
Thank's & best Regards,
Arnold Sutter
Hey Arnold,
Never break a thread or email the person directly. Keep it all here
on the list so others can find the help they may need with the same
problem.
As to your problem, if you do aticonfig --help in the terminal,
you'll see all the options you can use with the driver.
I haven't tried other options so you'll have to experiment.
Try aticonfig --initial=dual-head --screen-layout=left aticonfig --
force-monitor=crt1,tv
Like I said, experiment, tweak it, and let us know if it worked.
EJ
