I suggest using akmod-nvidia instead, from rpmfusion. This will rebuild the 
module during boot, if needed (and if possible).

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.

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.

/var/log/Xorg.0.log

(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.

HTH, :-)
