xrandr should work nicely with proprietary Nvidia drivers too. I've two
different Nvidia Geforce cards (one several years old and one new).
xrandr sees all monitor outputs, so configuring card for two monitors is
just a single xrandr command. I never had the two Nvidia cards connected
simultaneously, though. Just a single card with two monitors.
