Re: VirtualBox on 2 Displays
Check the manual, there is a section there that describes how to use more than one monitor for the VM. You do need to use VRDP, the normal GUI won't work with it.

Re: VirtualBox on 2 Displays
Then you have to find something to work with that. I'm sorry, but I don't have experience with RDP on Linux like this, or VRDP and multiple displays. Check the man page of rdesktop, maybe there is some setting to get a toolbar or something in fullscreen, or escape fullscreen somehow.
As for the second display to be black, are you sure you did what the manual said?

Re: VirtualBox on 2 Displays
yes, i think if i start the RDP programm in fullscreen, it start in fullscreen on both display, because if i change the display resolution for example 2560x1024 i get the desktop on both displays.
