What type of card do you have?  I have a Radeon 9200SE and I got the
TV-Out working by following this thread:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=215763

Read through it all though (10 pages), since it was posted in 2006 for
Edgy some things may have changed.  I used this guide both on Edgy and
Feisty.  When I upgraded my Feisty box to Gutsy all I had to do was
recompile the drivers and it worked again.

To disable Compiz go to System --> Preferences --> Appearance --> Visual
Effects and choose None.
