Just to confirm this isn't something to do with local configuration

Using Trusty B2 dvd gives the same problem.

Title:
  2.13 kernels (ALL) : Multihead multi-gpu broken for at least Nvidia
  GPUs

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  As the summary says. This is 100% repeatable and there's been a fair
  amount of traffic about it on various lists.

  The current concensus is that the root cause is down to to powersave
  mode tweaks in all GPU modules

  To repeat:

  install multiple nvidia GPUs in a desktop system (or a multi-gpu card
  such as nvidia Quadro CVS440)

  Boot up Trusty beta versions (or 2.13 kernel).

  try configuring displays using standard tools based on xrandr

  This worked fine in Saucy (crosscheck: boot off 13.10 64bit DVD)

  Apparently this is fixed in the 2.14 kernels.

  It can be worked around by manually configuring the devices in
  xorg.conf and enabling Xinerama, BUT - this results in massive
  slowdown and as this disables xrandr a number of important apps (such
  as vlc) will refuse to run.

  This is a major regression and needs to be treated as such.
