First off, Beau, thanks for the driver link :-)

Argh, I just spent ages getting windows to not do horizontal extension and
just see 2 monitors (the driver version I had had a bug so once you enabled
it you couldnt disable it :D)... Horizontal extension is really irritating,
windows always center in wrong places, the taskbar spans multiple monitors,
ugh! I will do things differently. As all monitors settings are 1024x768, on
the gamestation as well as the workstation, and there seems to be no other
way to do this currently, I'll just hack something together that hides my
own taskbar, removes the VNCviewer border and multi-screen maximizes it,
which will hopefully give me pretty much the desired effect. (At the cost of
a few hours coding).

I will try the virtual driver thingy for my server pc, if that doesn't work
out, I'll contact you for how I can build such a dummy monitor connector.

Regards and thanks,
