I like using the GUI program 'lxrandr' for this purpose.  Ubuntu is
not Debian but on my Debian system this works:

Install 'lxrandr'.  Then after it is installed there will be a new
menu item under [System], [Preferences], [Monitor Settings].  That
will bring up a GUI where you can select your display.  It also runs
'xrandr --auto' as Chad suggested above and just bringing up the GUI
might enable your second display automatically.

P.S. Of course being the command line person that I am the following
does it all from the command line.

  $ su -
  # apt-get update
  # apt-get install lxrandr
  $ exit
  $ lxrandr
