I have an only-partly-VNC question, but the community here seems like it might have good answers.
Until this week, my setup was simple: * I do all my computing on a shared unix server, where I run a vncserver; * At work, I run the RealVNC client on my Windows PC (in fullscreen mode, essentially hiding the fact that it's a Windows box); * At home, I run the RealVNC client on my Mac. * Inside my Xvnc, I switch between multiple virtual desktops (using KDE). The new complication: I got a second monitor for my desktop PC at work. How best to go double-headed? * I could run a double-wide "vncserver -geometry 3200x1600". As far as I can tell, the RealVNC client can't do full-screen mode stretching across both monitors, though. I could run two clients sharing the same server, one full screen on each monitor, but they'd accidentally scroll side-to-side all the time. * I could run two entirely separate vncservers and two vncclients, one in fullscreen mode on each monitor at work. From home, I'd connect to only one at a time, or have them in two overlapping windows. Can't move windows between them. Can probably copy-and-paste across going through the client OS, at least. * Can Xvnc run as two screens of one server, eg :0.0 and :0.1? And have them listen on two different ports? This would address some of the preceding option's problems, but I don't know much about how KDE works with double-headed X setups. Is there even a window manager than will let me independently switch the two physical screens among >2 virtual desktops? * I could wimp out and leave one monitor at work running Windows, and reserve it for web browsing and gmail :-). Any advice on what's possible, especially including other ideas that I haven't thought of, would be much appreciated. --Michael Kleber -- It is very dark and after 2000.
