I switched to the open source 'nv' driver present by default (by manually editing xorg.conf). I don't need fancy graphics. All I need is a dual monitor setup and I got that working through the generic System ->Preferences-Monitors configuration utility. It detected the monitors just fine and let me choose a dual monitor configuration. Pretty neat. I wish the nvidia-current driver was better. Attached is my xorg.conf for anybody who faces this problem and just needs basic graphics via 'nv'.
