hi!

i really miss multi-display capability on my MacBook Pro M1 - it worked with the MacBook with intel CPU

now it only clones the output on all monitors

open-vmware-tools are installed and the OS Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS is up-to-date.

xrandr shows this:

If you look down a bit in the forum, you'll see another thread with this. VMWare removed multi-display support a few versions ago when Apple made major changes to spaces/mission control.
