OK fellow listers - I NEED YOU HELP - PLEASE!!!

I've got a G4/1ghz MP with the stock nVidia GeForce4 MX video card.  I 
was using an Apple 17" Studio Display (CRT) with a 17" ViewSonic as a 
second monitor.  The ViewSonic bit the dust, and I tried connecting an 
old Apple 12" Performa display in place of the ViewSonic.

Needless to say, the 12" just "rolled" and "rolled".  The computer was 
trying to use the 12" as the "main" with just a blue background on the 
17" Studio.  I could see an image through the rolling but could not get 
to the preferences to adjust the "Monitors".  I tried turning the 12" 
off, but the 17" was still acting like the secondary monitor.

Is it possible to make this work?  If so, how?  Am I S.O.L. with this 
setup?  Does anyone have any suggestions?  I'm needing this now, and I 
don't have time to go to the computer store for a replacement.

I do have an old TwinTurbo PCI card, and I do have available PCI slot, 
could that be an option?

G4/1ghz QuickSilver 2002, 1.5gb RAM, OS 10.3.5.

Thanks in advance!
