Modes
These are found in your screen section; the valid modes for your TV encoder will be reported in a verbose X log file (generated with `startx -- -logverbose 5`) when X is run on a TV. Some modes may be limited to certain TV Standards; if that is the case, it will be noted in the X log file. Generally, atleast 800x600 and 640x480 are supported.
then its a list going on....

"ConnectedMonitor?"
This option can be used to tell X to use the TV for display. This should only be needed if your TV is not detected by the video card, or you use a CRT (or digital flat panel) as your boot display, but want to redirect X to use the TV. The line in your config file should be:
Option "ConnectedMonitor?" "TV"
"TVOutFormat?"
This option can be used to force SVIDEO or COMPOSITE output. Without this option the driver autodetects the output format. Unfortunately, it does not always do this correctly. The output format can be forced with the options:
Option "TVOutFormat?" "SVIDEO"
or
Option "TVOutFormat?" "COMPOSITE"
so i think i need 2 add the options
Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"
Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
Option "TwinView"
k now look at the
first quote, where he goes, this is in yourscreen section.
then look here
Quote:
Example using MSI-FX5600
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"

Option "TwinViewOrientation?" "Clone"

Option "TwinView?"
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync?" "30-70"

Option "MetaModes?" "1024x768,1024x768; 800x600,800x600; 640x480,640x480"
Option "TVOutFormat?" "COMPOSITE"
Option "TVStandard" "PAL-B"
