Maybe it will help you too?
- Run lspci to determine what controller you have.
- Visit the nVidia driver
website and select

- Execute the program you downloaded from nVidia.
- Start X (telinit 5)

- Activate additional monitor (twinview)
- May have to enable Xinerama for more than two monitors.
- Enjoy fruits of labor.
