In the Device section where it says
Option "MetaModes" "800x600, 800x600"
the value on the right is for the CRT and value on the left is the TV
change the values to fit your monitor and tv..

and the Modeline change it to fit your display device...
try it out to see if it works first but always be sure to make a backup of your
xorg.conf file or XF86Config file
