I don't know about that particular combination, but XAccel can handle
multiple monitors if you steer clear of the pitfalls.  I'm currently
running an old version with a Diamond SpeedStar (ET4000) and an ATI
Graphics Ultra Pro (Mach 32) (I'm waiting for Matrox Milleniums to
become available again before I upgrade--anybody know a source?).  In
text mode, I only use the ET4000.  This would work with your Sun
monitor as well.
