Title:
  nvidia driver doesn't detect two displays by default

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I just installed the nvidia-current driver through jockey. Upon
  reboot, only 1 display was detected by Xorg/nvidia driver. The other
  display remained in standby.

  I had to start nvidia-settings and configure the second display in
  "TwinView" configuration and save the result to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
  before it all worked.
