Okay a more detailed info

I got two cabs, one with a Hantarex Polo, and the second one with a Hantarex MTC 9110
Theres a VGA-Amp attached to the Polo, and a J-PAC to the MTC 9110.
Right now the MTC 9110 is mounted vertical and the Polo is mounted horizontal, and they are driven by two Radeon 9200SE (one AGP and one PCI).
So I can play vertical games on the vertical monitor and vice versa.
Also I can play dual screen games on dual screens, as long as I turn the MTC 9110 to horizontal.
I recently managed to programm both heads on a NVidia GeForce 6600GT (and my 7600GT later on) and want to swap the two (quite old) Radeons out and put the 6600GT in.
However, I can't enable the seconds head because the NVidia drivers keeps saying theres nothing attached to it.
So I need to know how a graphics card does sense a monitor connected.
As for my test, I attached an old 15" VGA monitor and it was INSTANTLY detected, and it doesn't support DDC for sure, also my 29" VGA is detected instantly after plugin in, so it needs to be some simple "close on connect" switch.
I've attached some pics...
Here we got the MoBo.

And the two Radeons

Some shots in "single screen" mode.

And in "dual screen" mode.

P.S. Yeah... those pics are quite old, done with a real crappy Handy Cam ^^
