openbox and dual head

I have a dual head setup going with my tv and monitor. I want to be able to use my tv with openbox but as is all I get on my tv is an "x" cursor. I can't do anything on my tv. I have tried xinerama but it isn't the setup that I want and personally I think it sucks. Does anyone know of a solution to this or should I be filing a bug? Thanks for any help.

Just run a second instance of Openbox on your TV.

DISPLAY=:0.1 openbox
