Do you mean that you want to be able to move a window between the two
monitors ?
Well, I never try this by myself, by this should work

Edit the file  /usr/dt/config/Xservers
Comment the last line, and replace with this :
 :0  Local  local_uid at console  root  /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun  :0
-nobanner  +xinerama -dev /dev/fb0 -dev /dev/fb1

Then restart your Xserver or simply reboot the machine. This method can
only be done in Solaris 8.

However, it is not recommended to edit /usr/dt/config/Xservers directly.
You better create a directory called /etc/dt/config and copy the  file
/usr/dt/config/Xservers file there, then you can edit  it in that
directory. It is always a good practice to keep your config files under
/etc directory.

No need to install Expert3D driver from the CDROM supplied with the card
if you're using solaris 8.
