I had this problem too, with 9800GTX+GTX-260, 2xGTX60 and 2xGTX280 - it is independent of the cards used, but depends on where among the PCI devices the card with a display attached is located.
In my present case - lspci says
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G80 [GeForce GTX 260] (rev a1)
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G80 [GeForce GTX 260] (rev a1)
and the monitor is attached to the card in PCI slot 02:00.0. I also have to set in my BIOS that my monitor is attached to slot PEG2, otherwise I do not get to see anything (not even the POST BIOS messages). Then /etc/X11/xorg.conf I have the following setup shown below:
Section “Device”
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "GTX260"
BusID "PCI:2:0:0"
Option "Coolbits" "1"
EndSection
Please, note that the crucial part is:
BusID “PCI:2:0:0”
Try that and see what happens - of course you should know at which PCI Bus ID the card with the monitor is located.
