Default want same output to 2 monitors on dualhead

Hi all,

I'm running Solaris 9 with CDE on a Rave workstation and have a dual
head graphics card. Got a Sun monitor plugged into the VGA output and
a Dell plasma monitor plugged into the DVI. Made the necessary changes
to the Xservers file and now have output going to both monitors. But
it seems that the workspace has just been spread out over the two
monitors, when you mouse all the way to the right on the Sun the
pointer skips over to the Dell.

What we'd like is to have the same output to both monitors. Whatever
the user does on the Sun monitor is mirrored on the Dell plasma. Same
icons, same open windows, etc.

How can I accomplish this?

Any help is appreciated!
