For connecting to a PAL tv you will need to set the card to PAL encoding. NTSC is not the same.
In general, Europe uses PAL and most other places use NTSC for television.


So before I'll do something stypid I wrote here to ask were I am doing
wrong. And what will happen if I change in GeForce BIOS that NTSC to
PAL. Or do I need a newer cable for connecting that tv to computer.

As Jeff wrote , PAL is a TV encoding. This means that hacking the Geforce bios wont help much , unless you hack the right things , like the part which defines which standard it uses in the tv output....
BUT , you dont need to hack it.. I dont know about linux (because I never tried to use a TV with my computer in linux , just in windows), but on windows you can configure the card to use the PAL standard on the TV-out. Take a look at the readme for the Geforce drivers and there may be a option to use PAL on linux. If you dont find any , go to windows and configure the card to use PAL and see if this config works after rebooting back on linux....
