In XP (or ME or 98SE), monitors are attached via separate (or multihead) video cards. Same in SuSe 9, except the driver support is the responsibility of the card vendor, not SuSe.
ME and 98SE support TWO monitors. Each monitor (typically) can have its own resolution and depth. One card must be IGP. The other card must be PCI. The primary desktop is IGP. XP supports up to TEN cards/monitor segments. Each monitor (typically) can have its own resolution and depth, depending on whether your multihead card driver supports different resolution and depth on its own attached monitors. With XP, the primary desktop can be set in properties (if you believe the checkbox Id rather not try.) IMHO, the best VNC option would recognize the SOURCE )server( number of cards/monitors and would allow them mapped to the TARGET )viewer( monitor or monitors More easily, perhaps, VNC would recognize the SOURCE )server( has multiple monitors and allow which was to be grabbed. Then a separate viewer(s) could map the other monitors. As more Linux versions support multiple monitors, we can only hope that EVERYONE will recognize how WONDERFUL it is to put all or part of a coding/development environment on one monitor and view the results either in a window or totally occupying another monitor. The end of clutter think of it. For REAL: Netbeans supports moving panels to a separate display and remembers where they were in the workspace. (In XP.) Eclipse is crippled in this respect. MORE DANGEROUS: .NET fully recognizes and uses multiple monitors. I am devoted to multiple monitors. If you own a modern laptop, it probably has a dual head card that supports two independent displays in Windows ME/XP. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
