I'm using a GeForce 7300GT on Ubuntu 8.04, and I'm trying to make it so that but my CRT and my television display the same thing. I don't care if they have the same resolution or not I just want to make them both display. I originally did this in 7.10 really easily, but it's proved much harder in 8.04.

The card is not detecting the TV plugged into the svideo (I tried GNOME's System Resolution, Nvidia Settings, and forcing S-Video usage with xrandr), even though the computer is directly plugged into the television. I edited the xorg and added a ConnectedMonitor line which allowed me to force it to output to the TV (but only with 96.43.xx drivers) and that worked fine but it disabled the CRT. I tried having both the CRT and the TV in the ConnectedMonitor line but it still just output to the TV and disabled the CRT. However, when I hit CTRL+ALT+F1 to get a text based session, it always appears on the CRT, whether the graphical one was on the CRT or not. When the CRT was not the graphical screen the text session is very strangely colored. By editing the ConnectedMonitor line I'm able to use either display one at a time, so I know they both work. Also, both of them are using the same resolution, so I don't think that xorg is disabling one of them because the resolution is not supported.

Please advise on how to fix.

Here is my xorg.conf:
