Do you have a xorg.conf file or do you let X sort it all out itself? I

Unfortunately, lxrandr only shows the single monitor. Another issue I

The nouveau version in squeeze does not support these cards, they should

I'm reluctant to suggest this,
but you probably need the nvidia driver (package nvidia-glx in section
