Aha, I believe you *have* followed things to a T. But the nvidia 
driver's auto-detection of connected displays doesn't like a lot of AV 
switches. Many of them don't support the flow of two-way data to allow 
proper detection. Try adding the line:

Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"

Or, for mirrored display on monitor and TV, try:

Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT,TV"

(Those are from memory, but I think they're right -- double-check 
nVidia's docs to be sure).
