FYI the line
Option         "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"

is not needed unless you are using TV-OUT. You are using DFP-0 which is a
DVI or HDMI connection.

I use the following settings in my xorg.conf for my HDMI connection to my
TV. Using an onboard GeForce 8300.

    Option         "CustomEDID"         "DFP-0:/etc/X11/tv-edid.bin"
    Option         "UseDisplayDevice"   "DFP-0"
    Option         "ConnectedMonitor"   "DFP-0"
    Option         "ExactModeTimingsDVI" "True"
    Option        "ModeValidation"     "NoDFBNativeResolutionCheck"
