I have a VNC server running in virtual mode in RHEL and I am viewing it on a PC which has two screens. I can make the server use both of my screens by setting the resolution large enough:
xrandr -s 3840x1200
The problem is now the applications on the Linux side think that there is just one huge display. When I maximize a window it fills both of my screens. What I want to happen is the window to fill the one screen that it currently occupies. This is how things behaved when I actually had two displays connected to a linux box.
How can I make the VNC server understand that there are two displays instead of one big one? I am using RHEL 5.10 (but will soon be upgrading to 6) and the desktop is Gnome 2.16.0. After looking into my xorg.conf file I realize that this is all being run by vmware. I am hopeful that there is some change to this file that would give me the result I am looking for.
I do not have root access on this machine. However, if the solution requires root access I would be happy to hear it since I could then try to get my sysadmin to implement it.
