I think the above may be causing problems; the 800x600 at 50Hz and 
640x480 at 50Hz modes may well need a HorizSync lower than 30kHz. I have an 
M-II 10k, and the following works for me:

Section "Monitor"
         Identifier   "MonitorTv"
         HorizSync    24.0 - 80.0
         VertRefresh  50.0 - 75.0
         Option      "nodpms"
         Option      "noddc"

# Set for 4:3 display
#       DisplaySize     192 144
# Set for 16:9 display
         DisplaySize     256 144
EndSection

I know it's odd, but as I understand it the monitor settings for the VGA 
output affect what modes can be set on the TV output, even if the VGA 
output isn't used, and the monitor definition needs to cover the 
(non-interlaced) versions of the TV modes.

I'd also recommend you use better modes for your TV, e.g. use 
720x576Noscale instead of 800x600. Modelines for TV and VGA outputs for 
all these are built in so you don't need any modelines.

Terry Barnaby has provided more info on getting TV out to work here:

If this doesn't help, please post your entire Xorg.log (compressed).
