Running VNC fullscreen with multiple monitors

Tags:

vnc

monitors

I'm connecting to a remote system using VNC (tigervnc-1.1.0 on client, RealVNC-4.1.2 on server). The client system has two monitors using Nvidia twinview, with an effective resolution of 3200x1200.

When I tell vncviewer to use fullscreen, the remote system window (1600x1200) is centered across both monitors with large black spaces on both sides. I also tried running Xinerama instead of twinview on the client system, but this doesn't make any difference.

Is there any way to run vncviewer in fullscreen mode, without the VNC frame, but restrict it a single monitor?

Can VNC use multiple monitors?

If you have VNC Viewer 6.20. 113 (or later) and VNC Server 6.7. 0 (or later) you can switch between multiple monitors attached to your VNC Server computer using the menu. This feature is available to users with a Professional or Enterprise Device Access subscription.

How do I make VNC Viewer full screen?

Click the Enter full screen button on the VNC Viewer toolbar: VNC Viewer will now fill all your screens. To exit full screen mode, click the Exit full screen toolbar button again. Was this article helpful?
