Ok i have played around a bit and come to the following conclusion.

I can play both these games in Windows under dual view setup ONLY if I am using
two monitors using 15-pin DE-15 VGA connectors. (if i use the DE-15 VGA
connection on say the first monitor and either the hdtv,composite or s-video
connection on the second monitor it will NOT work)  BOTH screens need to be 
set to 1024 x768 and also the game must be configured at 1024 x768. 

If you change the monitors both to 1280x1024,  and the game to 1280x1024, one
would assume this too would work... It does not.

To recap. These games will only work under Windows in dual-view if both
monitors are connected via 15-pin DE-15 and set at 1024x768 along with the
games configured at 1024 x768.

No matter what the resolution is configured like in Ubuntu, it will not work.  

Gives error message 
"Could not initialize graphics system. 
Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw."
