You typically must install the Standardware (nvidia) driver from nVidia.
You also configure the driver for nView (aka TwinView) by editing
the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

The only cards I know of with a graphical configuration tool for Linux
is Matrox.  They ported their PowerDesk suite from Windows.
