One last dual head problem ( I hope !!)

[Chris B]

Ok so now I got colors on my TV when using dual head (woohoo), but when I use the "dual head clone" my primary display just goes black, so I only have picture on my TV... which is a problem since my TV and PC are not in the same room!

There are no problems when using "multi display"

Do you have the 'keep optimal refresh rate' checked in dualhead properties?

Impact has the right idea ...

It seems that your VGA monitor cannot use frequencies as required in TV ouput mode.
Checking the option that Impact mentioned will keep your primary display at VGA settings, i.e. it will stick with your VGA refresh rates, while outputting simultaneously to your TV/VCR.
