Dual screen for WinXP using Ubuntu

Post by lecelte »

Hi all,

I've 2 LCD 1280x1024 and 2 desktops for my ubuntu (2x 2560x1024)

I would like to have 2 screens into WinXP because of some tools that use the full screen option for displaying photos such as Fastsone Image Viewer.

Is it possible to simulate a 2nd screen within VirtualBox 2.1.4 under Ubuntu 8.10 ?

Thanks for your help

See the manual. It can be done with the VRDP feature and VBoxHeadless.
