Multi-monitor + multiscreen
Posted: 14. Apr 2011, 17:45
Hi,
Is the Subject: possible?
VBox 4.0.4. Host OS Win XP (not relevant) Guest OS SLES11 SP1 64 bit uptodate with GA.
WM is Gnome.
Configured 2 monitors and 23MB videoRAM.
Linux detects 2 monitors. The resolution is 1024x768. Mode: mirrored.
I can "break up" the mirror and the I get a big screen: 2048x768. sdypinfo said only 1 screen:
:0.0
I want to virtualize my real dual-head environment on the above guest config.
My program is running on 2 (or 4 or 6) monitors but it has to be on different screens
like this: :0.0; :0.1 (:0.2; :0.3 etc.)
I modify the xorg.conf by hand putting into a 2nd monitor+screen definition and I changed
the server layout section. Nothing happened. After it I added a plus device config which
was the same device[0] (device[1]). Nothing.
Can I solve my task in Vbox?
The application program is not too inteligent. The max. resolution can be 1600x1200 but
in that setup the picture is very ugly (my guest resolution in not mirrored mode is
2048x768) and I can't use the remaining pixels. In the real configuration there are
six monitors 1280x1024 each.
So I don't know what is the relatition to multi-monitor, multi-screen, multi-display.
I don't know my xorg.conf is wrong or VBox can't virtualize more heads with one
VGA card.
TIA,
