From some reason, after transitioning to Gnome 3, the second monitor was turned off by default (or was used as a separate X screen, which doesn't really work in G3 (atleast for me); I don't remember exactly how it was). Anyway, after installing nvidia-settings I managed to make it work with Xinerama. About the not-working 285 driver: it worked when it came to unstable from experimental. So, unless there are other people having this problem, I think it's ok to close it. Thank you for the interest.
