Here's my relevant part of the xorg.conf (it works), different card,

Quite a bit of difference I would say.  Keep in mind the NvAGP may not
be appropriate for your card, if in doubt, set that to 0.


Hi Joe,
most of those settings appear to relate to twin view for running a monitor and a TV - I'm only using the TV - no monitor.
The "UseInit10Module" is interesting. Nvidia complains in the xorg.log when starting X that it cant initialize the Int10 Module - presumably the same thing despite the extra 'i'. I'll definitely try this one.
However which of the other options are pure tv-out options, as opposed to twin view, that you know of? 

Thanks
Adam

PS Presumably you've got colour - what cable do you have?
