I can confirm that Ubuntu can definitely support 2 or monitors
with the Nvidia display cards.<br>
I have 2 systems on Maverick and Natty with Nvidia FX7600 and 8600
cards with 2 screens each running perfectly<br>
The easiest is to do as Raoul said and install nvidia-current from
the official Ubuntu repositories.<br>
<br>
Next best option is down load the correct proprietary binary drive
from the Nvidia site<br>

You would need the latest legacy driver because the 5700 is not
supported with the latest x86 driver (GForce 6 and later). <br>
Download the "Latest Legacy GPU version (173.14.xx series)"
version (Current is 173.14.31) which does support the FX5700.<br>
It is a binary .run file. Make it executable with chmod ug+x and
the run it after stopping your xserver.<br>
