I have an nVidia GeForce FX 5200 with DVI and VGA outputs (also S-Video, but I don't use it) It took me the better part of a day to find all the information I needed to get my monitors working correctly, so I figured it would be best to share my information.
I have two monitors, a 22" Widescreen Samsung 225BW, and a cheapo Dell 15" LCD. I watch Myth on my Samsung with DVI, and I use the Dell for management purposes (if the need arises), that way I don't have to rely on a network connection, and I can sit in a nice chair, rather than looking up at my wall-mounted 22" LCD.
Getting the DVI to be the primary display was the hard part. Here's my xorg.conf (yep, R5E50)
Most specifically you're going to want to look at the ServerLayout sections, and the Device sections.

The down-side to all of this is that Xine usually ends up on the other display. I don't use Xine too much anymore now with the built-in players, but other people might run into this issue. So far I haven't found a work-around yet.
