Tom,

You will want to look into the Xinerama project.  This is the normal way 
of using dual monitors under X11, unless things have changed since the 
last time I tried.  If you are lucky enough to be using RHEL4, there may 
be a tab in "system-config-display" that will do all the hard work for 
you. (I know there is in Fedora, and I think it's an xorg thing, but I 
may be wrong.)
