Type the following in an eterm/xterm (youll probably wanna be root) :

XFree86 -configure

And it should find your second video card and configure it, etc.

There is a more complicated way to do it if that doesnt work...

There is a Xinerama-HOWTO the gets into the nitty-gritty of multiple displays.

The latest release of Mandrake does it all for you automatically. I believe this is the first (and only?) distro to have a configurations wizard for this capability.
