Both normal monitors, >> out of the box! There is no such thing as a "normal" monitor. There are just "monitors". Unless the two are the same make/model, you can't expect the configuration set up for Monitor "A" to work on Monitor "B"; which is why you have this problem. Ok, well, technically you could expect it to, but I'd predict disappointment about 50% of the time.... See the Handbook, Chapter 5, and specifically 5.4, "X11 Configuration". If you can't use a "X"-enabled browser to do this, drop to console and try "lynx" (/usr/ports/www/lynx) from the command line.
