This feature has been implemented and is available in the dev/2.2 evolving pre-release build: http://www.turbovnc.org/DeveloperInfo/PreReleases (Mac build is still hung up in the Travis queue but should be available shortly)
Feedback is appreciated. This is similar in concept to the multi-screen feature in TigerVNC, but it is a more comprehensive implementation that includes: -- Extensions to the automatic desktop resize feature that allow it to automatically select a server-side screen layout that honors the client's screen boundaries and taskbar/menu bar location-- both in full-screen and windowed mode (the latter, assuming that spanning is set to "All monitors.") -- The ability to specify multi-screen descriptors (such as 1920x1200+0+0,1920x1200+1920+0) anywhere that the desktop geometry would normally be specified. This allows you to start the server with an initial multi-screen layout, as well as to select arbitrary multi-screen layouts from the client. -- A multi-screen X RANDR implementation that fully respects the maximum screen boundaries set in /etc/turbovncserver-security.conf If your organization can benefit from this feature, then donations are highly needed and appreciated. I basically had to exhaust the TurboVNC General Fund through next May in order to implement this, as it was a critical feature, but I ran into numerous issues (including compatibility with TigerVNC, since their implementation is not well-behaved in all cases) that caused me to exceed the funding I had secured for developing the feature by a factor of 3. Also, just a heads up-- dev/2.2 evolving no longer supports running the Java viewer as an applet or with Java 6 (including Apple's version of Java for OS X.) Those modes of operation will continue to be supported in the 2.1.x series, including an upcoming 2.1.2 release. Another heads up-- I'll be transitioning away from SourceForge mailing lists soon. They removed the ability to manage subscribers, and that was the last straw. I am open to suggestions as to where to move. Google Groups is the most likely candidate at the moment.
