Hi there..
I have nvidia geforce fx5200 with dualhead and tv-out. I have two DFP's connected and now I want to use the tv-out at the same time. Is that possible?, if so please help me, cause i cannot figure it out.
Thanks

yeah, you need to read through the readme of the nvidia drivers... you need to set a handful of options in your xorg.conf file...

This should be possible.
I have only one crt and tv out connected but maybe this part of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf will help you too:

X creates two screens (0 and 1) on one display (:0.0 and :0.1) and you can have different resolutions (and WMs) which is what I needed (max resolution for the tv is 1024x768 and fullscreen mode is working better). It doesn't use tweenview mode. Important part is BusId (you can find it with lspci).

the TwinView stuff should be for the dual DFPs... although I guess you could use Xinerama...
follow lanrat's setup to get 1 monitor + TV
then look into either TwinView from NVIDIA or Xinerama
