My nvidia cards pick up which port a device is connected to. If nothing
is there they default to VGA. Here is part of my xorg.conf file to force
DFP (DVI port).

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Default Device"
        Boardname       "Geforce6200"
        Busid           "PCI:3:0:0"
        Driver          "nvidia"
        Screen  0
        Option          "AddARGBVisuals"        "True"
        Option          "AddARGBGLXVisuals"     "True"
        Option          "NoLogo"        "True"
	Option		"UseDisplayDevice"	"DFP"
