Dual Monitors, View 4.5, Uggh

[ChrisJ615]

Is anyone having this issue? I'm running the SVGA II version of the drivers.

[Linjo]

Should work fine.

If you describe the issue a bit more it would be easier to help, please also provide the client OS, guest OS and display protocol information.

Linjo, sorry about that. It was EOD when I posted that.

So when I log into View 4.5 using the latest version of the View client and I have the multiple monitor options selected: both screens are used by view but the OS is kind of centered between the two monitors.

The guest OS is Windows XP x32.

Sounds related to KB 1018158. You can use their fix, or this one that uses PowerCLI and is much easier.

Indeed. Using PCOIP.

I thought this was fixed in 4.5.

[Linjo]

Did you specify the pool to allow more then one screen?

I always put the maximums here...

My Remote Display Protocol settings are:

Default display protocol: PCoIP

Allow users to choose protocol: Yes

Max number of monitors: 2

Max resolution of any one monitor: 1920x1200

Natively I'm using 1680x1050

[Linjo]

Can you post the vmx-file?

The VMX file for the Composer VM or the one for the LC?

[eeg3]

Not entirely sure, but I think the issue is with the vSphere client not saving VRAM settings, although I could be wrong. I haven't seen a direct report saying 4.5 fixed it, but it is possible.
