VNC and dual screen help

[dd2k]

hi
i have and nforce board and and a nvidia card so iv have all the multi desktop and dual dispaly tools, would it be possible to set up a vnc server running as a second display

ie display1: monitor
display 2: vnc,
and the vnc running seperaty not just a stream of display1

thanks in advance

extend your desktop so it covers both displays. then click on the window title bar and it should give you the option of sending the window to monitor 2. takes a bit of twiddling to get your taskbar back onto the 1 monitor though

thanks but will it think monitor 2 is the vnc connection

not sure what you mean by that. all apps run on the 1 system, you are just redirecting the gui to another section of screen,notice the screen size in disp props, mine comes up at 2048x1024 over 2 screens. this way i can work on my primary monitor and have browsers etc on another screen so i can forget alt-tab to use diff programs.
be aware though none of this works when you switch to d3d, very few games support a multi mon setup,and windows wont let you leave a working desktop on mon 2.
try this for some more information on using more than 1 monitor
