Just so no questions....
It's a Sun Ultra 40 w/ two NVIDIA 3450's (dual dvi output)
NOTE: Both Cards are working fine in Windows!
In Linux, only one of the cards (card #1) works. BusID 3:00.0.
I can get two monitors to work on card #1 with attached
XF86Config.2screen. If I simply change the BusID to the second card, to
try and get the second card and screens to work, nothing happens. I
also made a Config for four screens but it obviously didn't work. I
need to get the second card working alone first. I'm using the lspci -v
command to get the BusID's.
I installed this NVIDIA driver.

Please forward your config files if you don't mind sharing.
thanks
