External monitor question

I should be getting the Tecra A7 widescreen. ATI X1600 card.
I want to get a second monitor with ordinary 15" XGA, 1024 X 768
screen. I want this for 4:3 uses.
I want to play some older games on this, including DOS games.
I have found on the ATI pdf file that any attached monitor is
the secondary monitor. It looks as if this is fixed.

My question is if I run a game that uses the 'whole' screen,
can I get it to run in the second 1024 X 768 monitor.
It probably won't be in a window I can drag across.
I was assuming I would start a program in the second monitor
and it would run there.
