Mark did you find any other work around?

That workaround will work for home and office computers. But I need InstantVNC
to support dual monitors for customers computers. A product that we support is
used by over 5000 users. At times we need to see what is happening so we have
them run InstantVNC. If they happen to have dual monitors we can only see one
monitor and the mouse does not position on the remote screen properly. Because
of this we desperately need the dual screen support working.

Heyaz. Just to communicate my workaround:
1. Install and activate your preferred VNC Server on your dual-monitor
PC
2. Install EchoVNC on that same PC, register it as a service, and
configure it to "offload" it's VNC sessions to the server you installed
in step #1.
3. Install your preferred VNC Viewer on your Viewer PC.
4. Install EchoVNC on that PC as well, this time telling it to work with
the Viewer you installed in step #3.
Now when you connect from your Viewer to Server, all EchoVNC
does is help make the connection "firewall friendly". The other VNC
applications handle all the data, and have no idea about firewalls.
Also, of course, the same approach works for Remote Desktop
and RAdmin connections.
Don't misunderstand: I will be adding dual monitor support in a future
release, especially for InstantVNC that doesn't have this workaround.
But for now...
cheers,
Scott

RealVNC has already set the standard for dual monitor support. I have used
RealVNC in the past for dual monitors and it works well. When the server is on
a dual monitor system and you are using the viewer on a single monitor system
the ability to have it scroll when the mouse is close to the edge is a nice
feature.
I am using EchoVNC Server 2.32 and EchoVNC Viewer 2.32. It does not support
dual monitors.
Are you saying that the 2.01 version of EchoVNC (service + viewer) supports
dual monitors?

Hi All,
Version 2.01 supports dual screen fine and we use it as a
workaroubnd, I disagree with below, the scroll bar option is the best,
being able to scroll around the remote screens even on a small laptop
screen is much better.

Subject: Re: [Echovnc-users] Dual Screens
Just to voice in here. I think if dual monitor support is added there
should be a switch to let you turn it off. The reason being is that
often you're looking at a dual screen system from a laptop or other
single screen system. The dual screen Viewer window is so wide that it's
a pain to work with or so small that you can't read anything. Even
better might be a toggle that would let you switch between monitors like
a linux desktop.
I currently am using server 2.0 with a dual screen system, it works and
shows me the main monitor only. I've found this works rather well for
getting things done, but sometimes it would be good to access the other
monitor as well. For instance when program A opens it opens in the other
display. In that case I can right click on the task bar item and move
the window to the other display but that is a NVIDIA add on. Without
that I don't exactly know how I'd be able to use the program with VNC.
