Check out the xinerama stuff. You could also give your tv-out display a separate screen in your XF86Config. Never done it myself (NVidia GF2 myself), but have read other's stories here about it.
i wouldn't recommend xinerama. it's annoying, and afaik cripples viode play back etc... it should be straight forward on just a normal dual head config, but i don't have any actaul experience of it.. ask in two months and i plan to have tv-out coming out of my ears. not literally of course. that would be silly.
