Is (and if so, please specify how) it possible to define a Linux guest VM, having two (and even three or four) (virtual) monitors, however each one of them must have individual $DISPLAY values (screen :0.0 , :1.0 , a.s.o).
From my days of configuring linux, I remember this would be the *opposite* of activating Xinerama.
However if - in the ServerLayout section of xorg.conf (/etc/X11), I specify
Code: Select all
Option "Xinerama" "off"Xorg reports:
Code: Select all
(==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Thu Dec 15 00:30:11 2016
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
(==) ServerLayout "Layout[all]"

both still reports a large Screen 0.
running window manager fvwm.2.5.24
running VirtualBox 5.1.10,
and installed VBoxClient (same version).
I'm attempting to virtualise a legacy (Ubuntu 8.04 system with 4 monitors, and the specified features are required (windows may not be exchangable between monitors (screen)), and full width of an X11/OpenMotif application should come to fill a single monitor (not multiple neighbouring monitors).
Already smitten with the features of VB of virtual monitor, fixed resolution (in a window), and "zooming (Scale mode) OUT for the monitor" (although it took me a while to find this feature, would have expected it to be together with the ZOOM IN feature.
