[mythtv-users] Dual head w/ PVR-350

I've been putting together my media box and I've come up with a problem
trying to get some nice dual head action working. I can get X to come up
on my normal monitor (and Myth to output to the 350's tv out) or I can get
X to come up on the tv out, but not both.
The closest I got was bringing up two separate X sessions, one on the
monitor, one on the TV out. Unfortunately that's not the ideal situation
for navigation and using the system, I have to switch to :1 (good old
Ctrl-Alt-F8) to control Myth, and in doing this it makes my :0 on the VGA
output unviewable.
Is there any way to get dual head working across a VGA (voodoo3 in this
case) and the 350's TV out? Or what are others doing to solve this
dilema? I'd like to be able to have Myth running on the TV out while
using the VGA for regular old X stuff.
On a side note I'm including the XF86config file I put together from
various HOWTOs, it gets a response out of both displays then hangs the
system. Perhaps the answer will be as simple as a mistake in the X config
file.
Thanks for any help on this issue, so far Myth is one fantastic program.
