Have you checked out the Nvidia readme?  Check it out at
ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-7174/README.txt .
You're probably interested in the parts about Twinview.  I believe you
can also run a different x server on the two displays.

The twinview stuff is fairly trivial to configure if you read the
documentation.

As an example, here's part of my config.  I am no longer using the
tvout, so things are commented.
