Sure below (I've added mythtv user dist group if others could benefit)

I used the "RightOf" option which, as I found out, spans your mouse
across the two displays. So, if I move my mouse over to the far right,
it ends up on the TV. The keyboard works for both screens
simultaneously: select window that you want to address with the mouse
(I'm using KDE) and the keyboard will be addressing that window. It acts
like a wide display -- just happens to be on two different physical
devices that have different caps.
