I know nothing about mate and its settings, but I remember running X on dual-monitor setup with nvidia. What you need is to get the output names from Xorg.log in /var/log (e.g. DFP-0, DFP-2) and add relevant config line to your /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/.conf, e.g.: Section "Device" Identifier "Something here" Driver "nvidia" MetaModes "DFP-0:3840x2160,DFP-2:3840x2160" EndSection Check the documentation shipped with nvidia-driver for more options.
