can I do multiple displays in a linux guest?

I came over to VMWare from VirtualBox for the advanced memory management, but I find the guest monitor support sorely lacking!

In VirtualBox I only have to go into the display prefs for the guest and set the desired number of displays (1-8) and then the guest shows up in that many windows -- and I use the guest controls to configure their sizes and virtual positions.

I need to add an 800x600 display to one of my linux guests in order to prototype some specific hardware.


In VMWare [Fusion Pro 7] I cannot figure out how to do this. 

Is it possible? 

I have read posts that say I can have as  many virtual monitors as I have physical monitors (what's wrong with _that_ statement?) but then only in unity/fullscreen mode

I don't have an 800x600 external monitor -- so I am stuck?

Should I just go back to VirtualBox for this guest?


thanks in advance for your suggestions !!
