Howto Xserver dual screen setup with LCD TV?

Howto Xserver dual screen setup with LCD TV?

Hello, I'm trying to configure dual screen on my slitaz linux. I have connected s-video port on graphic card (old Nvidia Geforce MX440) with AV connector (yellow cinch) on LCD TV (32" LG32LD350). I want to have cloned screen on both, pc monitor and tv. How can I achieve this?

What I tried till now:
If I try to turn on twinview in nvidia-settings, the image on TV is cloned, but image on TV is grayscale and is flickering - I didn't find any option to increase TV frequency, colors are set to 32Milion. I tried it two days ago and somehow the image was color, I don't know how to set it up again :(. So I'm sure, the cable is OK.
I got same results, when I tried to set xorg.conf in either twinview or separate screen - screen is grayscale and flickering.

I tried to change almost avery option in config file without desired result, so I would be thankfull in any ideas.

This is my xorg. conf:
