Try adding the BusID to your configuration, as well as SingleCard-option. X will automatically isolate the address space and will deny the driver if it wants to access the VESA common BIOS.

Section "Device"
Identifier "nvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:02:00:0"
VideoRam 131072
Option "NoInt10" "Yes"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Workspace2"
Screen "Workspace2"
InputDevice "ps2mouse" "CorePointer"
Option "SingleCard" "true"
EndSection

You should see something like this in your Xorg.*.log

(**) Option "SingleCard" "true"
(II) Isolating PCI bus "1:0:0"

I've been considering a similar setup, as my MB has your intel chip, and I now need a second video out for my tv.

My thought is that if you only need two screens, why not disable the onboard chip and just use the two outputs from the nvidia chip? I'll bet that configuring two different video drivers simultaneously will only be a PITA, while I know (because I have it working nicely at work) that most nvidia based cards do two monitors without a hitch.
