Two monitors?

I have a Sun Ultra 40, which has an Nvidia graphics card capable of driving
2 monitors "nVidia Corporation NV41GL [Quadro FX 1400]. I am trying to get
the 2nd monitor working, and so far have had no luck. When I go to
Preferences -> Monitors, I am prompted if I want to run the Nvida
configuration tool. I say yes, and it comes up. It can autodetect both
monitors an HP LP2065 and Sun unit capable of 1920x1200. I am able to get
the Sun monitor to work as I want to, even though when I log out, and log
back in, I have to rerun the configurator to make it use the full screen
again. At the login promt it is in the wrong aspect ratio, and only uses
about 2/3 of the screen. Nothing ever shows up on the 2nd (HP_ monitor. 

What am I doing wrong? I can post the xorg.conf file if that will help.
