I pointed it out 'cos I've got several nVidias only supported by the
legacy drivers, and not only are they a real pain to get going, more
than once, they've *completely* broken X.11 on Ubuntu for me. I wish
I'd had the new "bulletproof X" back then!

I may have missed it - do we know the exact models of both cards? That
would be handy.

I'm no expert at reading xorg.conf files, but I don't think I saw any
reference to the 2nd card in the ones there?
