[rescue] Dual Display on a SparcStation 10BSX

Wednesday I was at a local auction house and I got four more Sun 17" 
monitors for free.  This set me off on another new project:  getting two 
displays up and running.  I have a SparcStation 10BSX, and it has the 
daughter card with the second video connector and two VSIMMs.  I'm running 
Solaris 8 on it and I don't know how to access the second framebuffer.  I 
have a second display connected but opening, for instance: "xterm -display 
hostname:1" doesn't bring up a terminal window on the second monitor.  Is 
it possible to run Solaris 8 on a dual headed box like this?  And, an 
aside- What is the significance of a SparcStation 10BSX?  How is it 
different from a SparcStation 10SX?  I can't find any details anywhere.

Thx.
Scott
