Multi-monitor full screen with USB DisplayLink monitors?

2012-06-19 Thread Tim Hammer
Based on the response to a question on StackOverflow 
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9602985/vnc-viewer-with-multiple-monitors) 
I am investigating switching to RealVNC from TightVNC as my viewer. I have 
verified that the current RealVNC viewer can connect to my workstation (the 
latest version of TightVNC does not!?!?!). However, my multi-monitor setup is 
using two USB DisplayLink connectors to attach a pair of 22" monitors to my 
laptop. I have a similarly matching pair of monitors on my workstation and 
would like to see the whole desktop at one time.
 
I can stretch the viewer window across the two monitors but because of the MS 
Windows title bar on the window, I lose that much height which is equivalent to 
the toolbars on the top and bottom of the workstation desktop. In full screen 
mode, I can get the full height, but obviously only one monitor's width.
 
I would like to know if anyone has attempted the multi-monitor full screen mode 
with USB DisplayLink connections in the RealVNC Personal Edition. Does it work? 
Is there any additional configuration required?
 
Thanks!
.Tim

How does it look like when it does not connect? Please let me know and
we'll be happy to fix that. By the way, if that's Vino on the server
side, we already fixed similar connectivity problem so it's possible
that version 2.5.2 will work just fine (it will be released in the
nearest days).

Thank you.
