Couple of things I noticed:

1. These ...
	Option      "RenderAccel" "1"
	Option      "TVStandard" "NTSC-M'
	Option      "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"
	Option      "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
	Option      "TVOverScan" "0.6"
	Option      "NvAGP" "1"

Should be in the "Screen" section, not the "Device" section.

2. The above are options for the closed source nvidia driver and you are using the open source nv driver.
If you've already installed the closed source driver just change "nv" to "nvidia" in the Device section.
