Thank you for the response Nick! I am talking about the UltraVNC capability outlined in the following link. It does seem as a special capability in UltraVNC as I have not seen this in TightVNC. This also looks like a Windows specific feature. In any case what can I do with Guacamole with a multi-display remote machine? What is the default: the default display or all displays. Are there any additional parameters I can set for a connection outside of those provided in the sample application? Thanks! https://uvnc.com/docs/documentation-1-3-0/134-virtual-displays.html

Is this possible in Guacamole? In general, I can’t seem to find documentation on multi-monitor support. Does it exist? It's probably important, here, to make sure what is meant by "multi-monitor support." From Eli's view, it seems like the request is that the VNC protocol be able to trigger a swap between different monitors, so that a single client monitor (Guacamole session) can "see" what's on different remote monitors without having to display it at the same time. That's a slightly different request from most of the ones that have come up on the list before, which is usually about improving how Guacamole spans multiple monitors on the client side. As you mention, Neil, that has been discussed, and does have its challenges. I'm not sure if libvncserver/client supports triggering that monitor swap - I'm not sure if this is part of the original VNC spec, or a more proprietary extension of one of the VNC systems. Seems like if it is implemented in UltraVNC there's a decent chance it's more standard. -Nick
