TV-out isn't supported by Xorg at the moment.  There's code available
in the open source beos radeon driver, but someone needs to port it
over.  As far as the display goes, you can uses the "MonitorLayout"
option to disable the port.  something like this should work:
Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS, NONE"
for LCD only, or
Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT, NONE"
for CRT only.
The first item refers to crtc1 and the second to crtc2.
