I did setup one system like this with a nvidia GeForce4 MX440 card and
FC4/atrpms.
You can find the xorg.conf on
http://niels.dybdahl.dk/public/xorg.conf.twinview
I did find some problems when running this setup with Gnome:
1. If a recording was being shown on the TV, then Gnome would hang if I
started two applications on the other display
2. A window called something like "authentication indicator" showed up on
the Gnome desktop and that window could not be closed
3. The toolbars on the TV desktop would not disappear completely wen MythTV
was running. Autohide did almost remove them, so that was ok.
None of these problems showed up when running KDE...
