VNC Multiple Monitor

[Bit Hunter]

Is it possible to use VNC to extend a desktop to multiple monitors over the network?

I have a Eee Box an d one other computer, and none of them have a second display port, i want to expand the desktop somehow without buying any new hardware, and if possible no software.

For ZoneOS i need to have hardware support for multiple monitors, or a virtual driver (which i can't find).

If all you need is extra monitor support, they now sell devices that use USB to VGA ports to extend the desktop. Not sure if your PC can handle it, but I rememeber seeing a device that allows multiple monitors from a USB hub like device. Might be the simplest way, but ultimately, get a better GPU. A Dual monitor GPU can be found online these days for under $50.00. It might not be a gaming rig GPU, but if working on more than one monitor is what you are after, spend some money to get the job done.

The other idea is virtual desktops(not a Virtual Machine) to increase productivity if you need to do multiple things while not needing to see each desktop. Something like YODM or even Microsofts: http://download.microsoft.com/download/whi...wertoySetup.exe

The microsoft one is pretty easy to work with, after installing, just right click the task bar, then go to toolabrs, then "Desktop Manager". You now have 4 desktops in one, with the ability to see all 4 at the same time befoe switching, you just click the one you want to move into.

Virtual Win is also one I forgot about. Its better than the Microsoft Powertoy alternative: http://virtuawin.sourceforge.net/

In virtualwin, you can have up to 9 desktops, its portable(just unzip and run, no installation) and move windows to other virtual desktops.
