That's where I have it as well, but naught difference setting it makes. Is
is reported in the logs of the server when starting up? 

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Generic Video Card"
        Driver          "nvidia"
        Option          "TVStandard" "PAL-B"
        Option          "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"
        Option          "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
        Option          "TVOverScan" "1.0"
        Option          "NoLogo" "1"
#       Option          "NvAGP" "0"
EndSection

I could try PAL-G (we're a PAL-B/PAL-G country) but it's svideo, it
shouldn't matter at all. The -B and -G are VHF and UHF versions of the
same standard.
