I suggest using akmod-nvidia instead, from rpmfusion.

I am not sure that nouveau supports this yet, and on which cards, but it also depends on the type of dual display you want. Cloned display? Xinerama? Same or different resolutions on different outputs? Which outputs specifically (the TV-out is not supported by nouveau yet, afaik)? Using one or more graphics cards? You need to be more specific, nouveau is still under heavy development, some things work, some don't. > I ask this because a while back I read that using > xorg.conf for setting things up is kind of taboo these days. (This was > in reference to initializing the Synaptics touchpad.) Why taboo? Though, when I need some kind of acrobatics with the display, I usually use xrandr, it is fairly easier and doesn't require root access. > So... how do I determine what video driver my system is currently > using ?

(1) yum install akmod-nvidia (2) man xrandr (3) wait a couple of days until kmod-nvidia appears in updates I would try these options in that order.
