I have a FX5200 with DVI to my rear-projection TV, but these things
are display-specific. You are looking for someone with the same TV you
have. Otherwise it is unlikely to be the best configuration.

You can use the same xorg.conf file, but you will need to comment out
different sections depending on which display is connected at the time
(e.g., have one Screen section for your monitor, and another Screen
section for your TV, and enable the appropriate one before rebooting
your computer for the new display).
