VNC position on a dual monitor setup

[James Weatherall]

Hi,

You have configured your display setup so that as far as Windows is
concerned, you have one huge display.  If you reconfigure it so that it
knows that it actually has two monitors that are knit together into a single
desktop then VNC Viewer will then "full-screen" to one or other of the two
monitors, as required.

Most dual-head graphics cards come with software that allows you to
configure this behaviour.

Regards,
