For various reasons, we can't provide an xorg.conf for your device by default; chiefly, KDE absolutely HATES it when a device is listed in xorg.conf but not present. I have no idea why it cares, but it does.
On a related note, I've got a Nvidia card capable of driving three displays: One SVideo and two over DVI-I ports. Unfortunately the vendor's binary drivers removed the capacity for driving that third display, limiting TwinView to just that - Twin Views. I'll come back with more details later to see if there's a solution, but I'd like to point out that the nvidia-settings app that controls xorg and its config can make on-the-fly changes to which configured screen is activated, among other things (resolution etc). I regularly have to disable my second monitor to enable my TV-out - takes all of 15-20s, and goes away on the next X restart.
On a Free note, all cards actually supported by X.org can be reconfigured on- the-fly with standard tools including vanilla KDE 4.
