Multiple (Dual) Monitors

Post by Rotsiser Mho »

Is it at all possible to have two virtual monitors with a Linux guest? I can enable them in the settings for the VM but Linux doesn't seem to recognize that they exist (as least in the display settings control panel). I am using Kubuntu and have also tried Mint (both 10.04). I see in the change-log that there is only support for Windows guests, but then why allow me to select more than one monitor? It doesn't let me select 2D video acceleration unless I have a Windows guest.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
