ARGH!
Find another nvidia driver, one that supports *that* card. On the machine I use
at work, I've got an older nVidia card (I want to say an 1100), and I found a
driver (<somethingorother>.173<something>), and that supports twinview for two
monitors. A month, month and a half ago, another admin upgraded my system, and
I either rebooted, or something, and lost twinview, and spent an hour getting
rid of the new driver (18?), reinstalling the old driver, and then
reconfiguring X back to what I wanted....

Look for an *explicit* nVidia display control somewhere in your administration
menu. The default won't do it right.
