Do you want the keyboard and mouse to belong to the text console
or the X server ? Or do you have a second keyboard + mouse ?
I think you can reorder the numbering of the heads on a matrox card
(the X server uses Option "SwappedHead").
If so you should be able to use the TV as your main head, and run
something like
http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/multiuser/
as your Xserver on the main monitor, without affecting the text consoles.
You might need to use one of the Linux frame-buffer consoles to use
the TV out as the console.
