How to use vmware-kvm.exe with Dual Screens?

Hello all,

Anyone knows how to use vmware-kvm.exe with dual screens?

In fact, my question is two-fold:

* how to start a VM in Dual Screen mode or switch to Dual Screen mode, when using the vmware-kvm.exe tool?
* how to choose per VM on which monitor the VM should open with the vmware-kvm tool? The vmware-kvm preferences has a general option for all VMs started, but I would like to know how to choose this per VM.

IF these options are not available yet, what should I do to ask VMware to look into these options for future vmware-kvm releases... ?!

Thx, T

vmware-kvm currently does not support VMs using multiple monitors.

It's certainly something that we can consider, but it's not clear exactly what you're asking for and how it should work.  For example:

Do you want a VM to cover all host monitors or just a subset of them?

Do you want this to apply to all VMs opened in vmware-kvm or just a subset of them?

If the answers to either question are "a subset of them", then we need to figure out how to specify such a configuration.

I know it's a very late response, but I had a need to use vmware-kvm again and was again irked by this issue.  I would settle for the VM to cover all the host monitors, but I would prefer a "cycle monitors" hotkey like we have in Workstation that allows us to adjust the monitors covered on the fly.
