I use dual head with nouveau using the following xorg.conf:

Well, I tried this conf and it worked -- exactly as without an xorg.conf: everything about dual head works except for the background stretch.

I guess I'm going to have to get in touch with the LiveCD developers, and find out who does the nouveau stuff for it; either that or the nouveau IRC.

If I ever solve this, I'll report back here.

Thanks for everyone's responses and for holding my hand on this!
