    Nvidia tv-out in 8.10 (no desktop on TV)

    For a long time (at least the past 3 releases) TV out with nvidia has worked well for me. I have used the same configuration all the time in xorg.conf, more or less.
    Now I try in the new kubuntu (kde4) and I get tv-out but there is no desktop on my TV. Before with these settings I got two desktops and was able to launch the programs I wanted to, like a media player or myth tv, on the desktop on my TV. Now all I get is a black screen with a mouse pointer I can move around.
    I use the following xorg.conf. I would appreciate if anyone could tell me how I can get my TV-desktop back!
