I tried to get dual working with the nv driver on Fedora Core 5 Test 2 but this does not seem to be supported right now. I installed FC5T2 using a single DVI display connected to my NVIDIA GeForce 6800GT graphics card. Everything is ok as long as only one display is connected to the card. Then I tried to connect a second display to the VGA connector. Now when the system boots and the graphical boot process begin the primary DVI display get red and the secondary VGA display shows multiple vertical stripes of different colors. When I try to switch to a text console both displays show vertical white stripes. Then I tried to boot the system with rhgb disabled and runlevel 3. The system comes up with a correct display of the text console on both displays. Trying to run system-config-display results in the DVI display getting black and the VGA display again showing multiple vertical stripes of different colors. I can't get back to a working display of the text console again. After disconnecting the VGA display and rebooting everything is ok again. Looks like the card initialization for graphics modes in case of dual head is broken. It should be noted that this also happens on FC4 + all current updates.
