As a further complete guess -- do you need to enable the TV-out capability in the BIOS? While you're Googling, I'd suggest you also check whether the nVidia drivers actually support XRandR 1.2 or later. It's entirely possible that they don't, in which case this line of approach is going to be fruitless.
