I am running a VNC server on Linux and a TightVNC viewer (ver.1.3.10 from 2/10/2009) on Windows with 2 monitors attached to it. I would like to have a full-screen session on both monitors at the same time, but whenever I do that, my full-screen always uses only one monitor.
Is it possible to extend the full-screen onto both local monitors? Perhaps there is a more modern version of a viewer that could make it work?
(In regular, not full-screen mode, it is easy - just run the VNC server with double desktop size and stretch the window on the local machine across both monitors. It's the full-screen mode that I cannot make work.)
Thank you very much, I really appreciate your help.

Once connected open the menu by using the F8 key on your keyboard (on a Mac keyboard, you may need to use Fn + F8) and chose the "Select Monitor" option. This will expand allowing you to select the monitor you want to view. By default VNC Viewer will show All Monitors.
TightVNC will not work on Windows 10 unless a monitor is physically connected. Machine with no monitor connected, RDP works fine. TightVNC only works after physically connecting a monitor.
1. Use key combination to exit full screen mode: Ctrl + Alt + Shift + F.
Using Remote Desktop to view multiple monitors They will need to enter the relevant authentication credentials, and use the Show Options button to view connection settings. In the Display tab, make sure that the box which says “Use all my monitors for the remote session” is clicked on.
