Discussion:
dual head fullscreen option

I am using an NVIDIA FX5200 dual head display (both 1280 x 1024) card with
VNC 4.1.1 as a viewer to a remote Redhat Enterprise 3 system using the
current Redhat distributed version of VNC. The vncserver is setup with a
geometry of 2560 x 1024.

The dual display setup seems to be fine in general with Windows XP
Non-fullscreen VNC windows can be stretched over the dual display by normal
dragging (they keep scroll bars presumeably because of the height lost with
the toolbar).
The NView (an NVIDIA driver function) maximize button spreads a VNC window
over the dual display as expected (ie maximized not full screen)

However what I really want is the VNC fullscreen to be across BOTH
displays. When I use it the window is fine but only over one display.

Is there an option I can set somewhere to achieve this ?

My apologies if this is somewhere on the web but after quite a bit of
searching I didn't find a solution.

regards

I should have clarified the viewer is running Windows XP the server is
running Redhat Enterprise 3
