How to add second frame buffer with CDE

What files need to changed after I add the second frame buffer
on my Solaris 2.x machine with CDE?

Follow below steps to config a double-headed system under CDE:

1) as root, cp /usr/dt/config/Xservers to /etc/dt/config/Xservers
            cp /usr/dt/config/Xconfig  to /etc/dt/config/Xconfig

2) modify /etc/dt/config/Xservers file
        append "-dev /dev/fb0 -dev /dev/fb1" at the end of this line:
        ":0 Local local_uid@console /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0"
   that is,
   ":0 Local local_uid@console /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun -dev /dev/fb0 -dev 
/dev/fb1"

3) modify /etc/dt/config/Xconfig file by changing  
        Dtlogin.servers:                /usr/dt/config/Xservers to
        Dtlogin.servers:                /etc/dt/config/Xservers

4) and put following two lines in .Xdefaults:
        dtsession*wmStartupCommand:     /usr/dt/bin/dtwm -multiscreen
        Dtwm*multiScreen:               True

5) reboot the system

This allows you to have one dtwm (cde window manager) to control your
two-head system.
