Second monitor cannot be configured for extended dispaly in Debian Stretch Guest OS

[amaramrahul]

I am using Vmware Fusion on Mac and have Debian Stretch installed as my guest OS. I have installed open-vm-tools in the guest OS, and I have also configured the VM to use all dispays in full screen mode as per Using Unity and multiple displays in VMware Fusion (2000384) | VMware KB . Now, when I login to my guest OS, the display is mirrored on both the monitors, but when I check for available monitors, it shows only one - "Virtual1". Even "xrandr --query" shows only one monitor. This means that there is no way that I can use the second monitor as extended display. I have spent quite sometime but have been able to figure out the solution to this. Has anyone else faced this problem?

Could you try it with the bundle tools?

Suggest to backup current VM first. Then uninstall open-vm-tools, and install bundle tools via Virtual Machine - > Install VMware Tools menu.

Tried this. It is of no use. Same problem. I see only one display "Virtual1" in Display settings. I followed the settings in Installing VMware Tools in a Linux virtual machine using a Compiler (1018414) | VMware KB, except that for instead of "/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox &" command. I used /usr/bin/vmware-user.
