Fusion & ARM Linux - multi-display not possible

[za4]

hi! 🙂

i am very glad that ubuntu 22.04 ARM now works on M1 within vmware Fusion TP!

the main problem I still have, is, that I can not use two (or more) displays/monitors

both displays show the same

and xrandr shows this:

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2560 x 1440, maximum 16384 x 16384
Virtual-1 connected primary 2560x1440+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
1024x768 60.00 + 60.00
3840x2400 59.97
3840x2160 59.97
2880x1800 59.95
2560x1600 59.99
2560x1440 59.95*
1920x1440 60.00
1856x1392 60.00
1792x1344 60.00
1920x1200 59.88
1920x1080 59.96
1600x1200 60.00
1680x1050 59.95
1400x1050 59.98
1280x1024 60.02
1440x900 59.89
1280x960 60.00

1280x800 59.81
1152x864 75.00
1280x768 59.87
1280x720 59.86
800x600 60.32
640x480 59.94
Virtual-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
Virtual-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
Virtual-4 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
Virtual-5 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
Virtual-6 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
Virtual-7 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
Virtual-8 disconnected

i think i've read somewhere else about this problem - i guess it is a bug in vmware fusion

thank you for your attention 🙂

Is this something that works on an Intel Mac?

(IIRC, we deprecated in-guest multi-mon support years ago when Apple changed how 'spaces' and 'desktops' work...)

hi! yes, it worked perfectly fine on recent intel versions of vmware fusion!

parallels does it perfect as well on m1

hi, it's me again

still no multi-display for me on ubuntu 22.04, even though it is 13.0.0 already and not Tech Preview anymore.

can anyone confirm, that multi-display is working for him on windows/linux VMs? Thank you! 🙂
