No. I'm sorry, I didn't describe it too well. PII has two nVidia cards, one for each monitor. Spread across the two monitors is the display running locally. Switching to vt08 (Alt+ F8) I get the display which is running on the PIV. This works fine with the nv driver, but not with nVidia's proprietary nvidia driver.

I want to rephrase your description, just to make sure I understand your issue correctly. On your PII machine you have a nVidia graphics card with dual-head, connected to two monitors; configured using Xinerama. One of the monitors was set to display a local X screen, and the other was set to display an X screen exported from your PIV machine. After switching from the xfree86 nv driver to nVidia's propriatary nvidia driver, you are able to start X on one display, but trying to start on the second fails.

So far as I could make it out, it's not related to the 'Twinview' feature. Actually I can't see anything in the README that relates to it. I think you're right that the nvidia forum might be more appropriate for this question, but I just thought I'd try here first.
Thanks for your time.
