Public bug reported:

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.
