This link gives good information on the setup of xorg.conf for using dual monitors.

for the nvidia.run driver [b] you must have the kernel-devel and kernel-headers installed
for rhel4 run
" up2date install kernel-devel kernel-headers "

and gcc must also be installed.

I take it you DID NOT shut down the X server FIRST as it states in the README before you ran
Code:
sh ./*.run

try this
Code:
su -
telinit 3
ro if that dose not shut it down use this
" init 3 "
then RELOGIN as root into the text only terminal and install the "run " driver.

--------------
also WHAT driver are you using ??

185.18.36 is the current for your card
