A couple thoughts:

1.  Please try googling for things like this.  There are plenty of
write-ups out there about setting up dual monitors.  Here's one I
just googled for that will get you started, even though it's not
precisely your setup:

2.  We're here to help, but to do so we need to know what you've
tried and what error messages your are getting back.  A key file to
keep checking when setting this up is /var/log/Xorg.0.log.  What is
it saying to you at the bottom?  It will give error messages (EE)
that should give you some good clues about what to fix.
