I wrote the original how to on the wiki using a 6600 and have used a 6200.
It works great. Post the exact config that doesnt work and ill take a look.
have this in your screen section should do the trick:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "NVIDIA Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600]"
Monitor "Visual Sensa"
Option "UseEDID" "FALSE"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"
Option "TvOutFormat" "Component"
#------------480p Group-----------------------------
#Option "TVStandard" "HD480p"
#Option "metamodes" "CRT: 720x480 +0+0"
#------------720p Group-----------------------------
#Option "TVStandard" "HD720p"
#Option "metamodes" "CRT: 1280x720 +0+0"
#------------1080i Group-----------------------------
Option "metamodes" "CRT: 1920x1080 +0+0"
Option "TVStandard" "HD1080i"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
End Section
