In the section above you should not have the Load "GLcore" or Load "dri" when 
using the nvidia driver.

Here you should have Option "XkbRules"  "xorg" and Driver "kbd" when using 
Xorg.

Here it looks like a typo in the MetaModes line should be 1024x768 @1024x768.

I never used twinview but I am certain that the options you have here in the 
screen section are not needed.

Now here I think the glcore and dri are interfering with the loading of the 
nvidia glx remove/comment out the lines and see if that helps. For your 
TV-Out problem I would suggest checking the Nvnews Linux Forum (1) I have 
seen a couple of posts on the TV-Out and the 8756 driver perhaps someone has 
discovered a solution.
