RealVNC 4.0beta4 allows multiple screens to be sent to a client. I've
installed RealVNC 4.0beta4 on a Windows 2000 and XP machines, and
successfully sent both screens to a VNC client. However, in the
typical user fashion....well, I was hoping for more! 8^) 8^) 8^)
To do the above, I have to go to Display Properties->Settings and
check off the "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor" for the
second display. At that point the two displays are stitched together
and I can roll my mouse from one display onto the other display. Only
one window can be active at any one time across both displays. My
guess is Windows is just making a double wide frame buffer that VNC is
tapping into and sending off to the VNC client.
While I could play games with multiple VNC clients and resizing each
double width display down to one individual display, I was hoping for
something more simple. I wanted the VNC client to provide a paramter
that indicated which of the two displays that the VNC server
should grab and sent to the client (very much like you'd do with X
Windows). Has anyone done this (and if so, what video card and
drivers were you using)?
ps - As additional information, the Windows 2000 desktop had a Quantum
3D card with NVIDIA drivers, and the Windows XP laptop had a NVIDIA
GeForce2 Go card with NVIDIA drivers. In both cases, going to Display
Properties->Settings->Advanced shows special NVIDIA tabs that don't
normally appear. I'm investigating if there are more current NVIDIA
drivers for the laptop with the hopes that this is actually just a
driver inadequacy.
