Look at the TwinView Appendix G in the readme also.
You'll have to tell the driver to enable TwinView in Clone mode. Here's my
display device section:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Nvidia GeForce4 MX440 TV"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NvAGP" "1"
Option "RenderAccel" "TRUE"
Option "CursorShadow" "TRUE"
#Option "NoDDC" "TRUE"
# Force the virtual screen to be the same size as the physical
Option "MetaModes" "640x480 @640x480, 640x480 @640x480"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT,TV"
Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
Option "NoLogo" "TRUE"
Option "TwinView" "TRUE"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
# not normally needed, but TV's don't do EDID
Option "HorizSync" "CRT-0: 30-1102; TV-0: 30-50"
Option "VertSync" "CRT-0: 50-160; TV-0; 60"
EndSection
