vga out nVidia g4 powerbook



So while playing around I got vga out to work on my nvidia based powerbook. I can't seem to get it to "clone" the display correctly though. If I try 
to display them at the same time the powerbook display looks awfully huge and very distorted while the external CRT monitor looks great. I have to 
edit the xorg.conf file to switch between the two. I was hoping to have it so I can leave it so that I can use it when every I felt like just by 
plugging it in. 

I didn't think externel vga would even work. I wonder if TV-out works now. 

Thanks,
Jeremiah

Here is my xorg.conf file:
