Support Multiple monitors

[jmcrabb]

Ok, so, I have a single card with two heads on it... two monitors in independent mode. How do I connect to it so that I can scroll back and forth instead of using the button to toggle back and forth?

Thanks

Using the WinVNC Video Hook Driver together with UltraVNC 1.0.1 on my Radeon X300 SE dualhead gives me exactly what many of you are asking for: one big desktop on my client that I can scroll left and right to see both monitors of the server.
Without the Hook Driver I only get the primary display.

There is still one disadvantage compared to RealVNC: In RealVNC I can scroll from left to right monitor just by approaching the rim of the clients (fullscreen) window area (which is very convenient). In UltraVNC I have to use the scrollbars.

CORRECTION:
Now even the scrolling works. No idea why I had problems in the beginning!

Hey, i'm currently using Maxivista's virtual monitor driver (which works either you have a maxivista client or not) and it works normally with UltraVNC server. I'm using a windows box the normal way, and an old linux box with vncviewer to connect to ultravnc server... I just scroll to the virtual screen and i get two screens.... it would be cool tho to just connect to the virtual screen. So, the only missing feature in ultravnc right now is the virtual monitor driver. I would use Maxivista but it won't run on the old linux box (the client) and using VNC, is just more standard.

We are currently running ultraVNC as a remote support solution for our clients some of which have dual monitors all of which have a single video card. I have read through this post and would like to ask a direct question.

Is it possible to support dual monitors with the remote support package?
and if so...
What version do I need to create the package to allow dual monitors?
Or is there something else I have to do to get this to work?

Any assisstance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Guys,
Nick

I would very much like to have this back. I could do this in the very first version of RealVNC...

The easiest way this can be reimplemented is to allow Windows to handle the dragging. If you have a single monitor with a resolution beyond the capability of the monitor, it will automatically pan to view the extended areas. This should still apply to the mirror driver with some coding.

Unfortunately, I have had very little luck with Windows coding, so I can't write it for ya. However, this suggestion might make things easier..

Other thoughts,
Button to switch displays
Option to shrink to fit (love the zooming.)

I have many ideas, lemme know if dual support appears!

I've worked quite a bit on addressing this issue. I've come up with what is, for me, the ultimate solution.

I use ultramon to disable the secondary display when I VNC to the primary. I can easily reconfigure my set-up to physical-pan from one monitor to another (or multiples of up to six), but *I* find that to be a real P.I.T.A. I'd much rather see everything on one screen.

Anyway, without even considering VNC or UVNC, I use ultramon to manage my displays because it allows me the additional taskbars for each monitor. But regardless of extra features, I found Ultramon's tray-icon offered the simplest and most user-accessible means of using VNC. I just run the VNC server as normal, and then use ultramon's tray icon to disable the non-primary displays. I then can check whatever I want in one window from my remote machine, then use the same tray icon to switch the display setting back to normal for the remote machine. Perfect, for me...

Actually, I don't care about using my vnc with my second monitor (single card, but different resolutions), however, using two monitors has dramatically slowed vnc down. I really can't use it at all and haven't in months (though I'd like to daily). Is there any way that ultravnc could at least ignore the other monitor all together?

If nothing else, Dedic8d, how do you use ultramon to disable the second monitor? Do you do it remotely or do you have to use vnc to...use vnc?
