How to enable Dual monitors in Solaris 9

The guy that knows how to do this is gone. I watched him do it but i am not really sure how to split the screen.
i searched and found this but have not tried it

Copy /usr/dt/config/Xservers to /etc/dt/config/Xservers
0 Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 -nobanner -dev /dev/fb0 defdepth 24 -dev /dev/fb1 left

will this work if i make some changes. i have a ultra 45 with solaris 9 on it.
thanks

fbconfig on the U45 has a doublewide and a doublehigh option for doing this.
