Multiple X screens: the Monitor thinks it is the TV and vice versa


When I boot my computer the TV thinks it is the Monitor and vice versa, which means that I have to log in using a completely black screen since the TV can't handle a 1280x1024 resolution. After that the TV wallpaper shows up on a 640x480 resolution.

This is my xorg.conf:
