Ok, I've search Google but can't seem to get the correct results.

I have Ubuntu on one of my machines.

I have two graphics cards in them, using only one for the main video. I
figured for fun and since I never used Dual-Monitors with Linux before
to try it. My question is, where in Ubuntu (basically Debian) do I go or
start to configure the 2nd video card, especially if I don't currently
have every single bit of info I need on the card. I mean I know a couple
of places to find it, but xorgcnfg usually finds it but it seems to only
find the main one.
