Multiple monitors

[genjix]

I almost cried when I saw seamless mode after I had been spending hours following old archaic guides to setup tunneling devices for RDP and such.

How can I get the 2nd monitor to work?

I tried:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage modifyvm XP -monitorcount 2
VBoxManage modifyvm XP -vrdpmulticon on
VBoxVRDP -startvm XP
rdesktop -rsound -A -s "c:\seamlessrdp\seamlessrdpshell.exe C:\Windows\explorer.exe" localhost:3389 -u myuser -p mypass

I get just an XP desktop on monitor 1 (all sounds play twice so I think remote desktop is working)

Any suggestions? Thanks

Read the manual, it's described there. When you use a username, specify a domain. username@1 goes to display one, username@2 uses display 2. Need to be enabled in the Guest OS of course.

thank you. i did check the manual but didnt understand cos of lack of examples.

for others this is how i got it working:

Code: Select all

rdesktop -u user -d @1 localhost:3389 &
rdesktop -u user -d @2 localhost:3389 &

then in XP configured second monitor in settings which was disabled.

thank you
