Use sax2 to determine whether Linux recognizes all video cards and monitors. Next use sax2 to enable the multihead mode.
If that doesn't work, I'd find a friend that knows what he's doing and modify XF86Config to set up multihead mode.

Unfortunately I have the reverse problem... I have 2 video cards and 2 monitors, however I never use both monitors and Linux doesn't support 3d with multihead environments so I want to disable the second card and monitor. I hope this helps.
