October 2, 20196 yr Hi, is it possible to have multiple virtual monitors for a VM (Win 7/10, CentOS 7/8)? Would it be possible to use a VNC Viewer to access these virtual monitors and display them on physical monitors? I did some research and found out that RealVNC and UltraVNC support virtual monitors. But RealVNC have issues connecting to Unraid VM. Many thanks for any suggestions! Regards K.
October 2, 20196 yr Author I investigated further. The Spice remote protocol supports multiple monitors. I can use the "graphics type='spice' ..." in VM config XML and I am able to connect to it using the virt remote viewer from Windows machine. I can set "heads=2" for "video model type='qxl'" and then I am able to see "Display 1"and "Display 2" in the viewer menu. But the "Display 2" is grayed out (inactive). Any hints?
October 2, 20196 yr Author The VM machine is CentOS 7. I enabled the spice-vdagentd service. Not sure how this could help. When I run xrandr I see 4 virtual displays: "Virtual-0", "Virtual-1", ... Only first one is connected. The rest have status "disconnected". How do I make the "Virtual-1" connected???
October 3, 20196 yr Author There is YT video about the multi display feature in KVM/QEMU. I would like to achieve the same in Unraid. Is it possible?
