I have exactly the same problem. I have two NVidia 8800 GTX's, with one
monitor attached to the first card and two monitors attached to the
second card. Ubuntu Hardy does not appear to see the second card at all,
there is no way to enable it or the monitors on it. The Screen
Resolution tool only shows my first monitor and my other two monitors
remain powered off.

Installing the NVidia restricted driver did not change this, however
when I had done that nvidia-settings worked perfectly and allowed me to
set my screens up the way I wanted! It did see the second card and all
my monitors and allowed me to enable them all and arrange them
correctly. The only downsides I can see so far is that Desktop Visual
Effects don't work at all, and the Desktop Background applet doesn't
work entirely correctly (it doesn't allow me to set a correctly-scaled
background on each monitor).

Daniel, might this not work for you too?
