Get drivers from nvidia.com & install the driver package. With it you get nvidia-settings to tweak most of the aspects. Give it a try.

Your config looks pretty close, but at my first glimpse it lacks of an extensions section:
Code:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
It is possible that your card doesn't need it? _I_ never knew of any yet, so try it, unless you are sure it doesn't.
Anyway I think this is a good walkthrough and has an example xorg.conf.
Cheers.

thanks for the link
I have added them lines to my xorg.conf and restarted the box.
I am still fighting this composite out to the tv here
now when the box boots I still have the nivida splash screen on the pc,
but the tv is pure black, before it was fuzzy/static.
maybe getting closer

thank you

I leave you here a quote with my working config for a 6600LE. Spanish lang oriented, watch out with the little details, and backup. Cheers.
