If you need three outputs, you will need two cards. I have two Nvidia
7600GS (passive), each with two DVI outputs ... One card is for dual
monitors, 2nd card is for projector (DVI) and TV (svideo).

You can use both cards at the same time when you run two X servers.
they can run separately and you can watch TV/Projector and at work on
the monitor the same time. that is called multiseat system. X server
for projector/tv has no keyboard, because it is only for mythtv and I
use only my remote for mythtv.

You don't need 2nd keyboard for the 2nd X server, but you need 2nd
keyboard setup in xorg. just use Driver "void" and everything will be
ok.
