[jira] [Commented] (GUACAMOLE-288) Add support for multi-monitor connections

["Daniel Moscovitch (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-288?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17095769#comment-17095769 ] 

Daniel Moscovitch commented on GUACAMOLE-288:
---------------------------------------------

The very Difficult way around this we've found for now is to manually Stretch a web browser on the users machine they connect from (example a laptop with an external monitor)  across both screens. This is not always easy as windows only allows Maximize on 1 screen.  Once your browser is BIG as you can stretch it, then you connect. Or control-alt-shift Disconnect/Reconnect if you're already connected. This will in effect give you 1 large screen. Also I believe only certain versions of windows workstation allow you to connect RDP using multiple monitor (ie enterprise , and not just PRO) so really the multi monitor is up to the browser at this point.

Although perhaps a way to Merge 2 sessions into 1 where you'd have a LEFT and a RIGHT session 1 each connected to each screen remotely may work, but again, the local windows version may need to support that.

> Hello,
> I'm wondering if multi monitor support for RDP (and maybe even VNC?) is on Guacamole's roadmap?  Currently, when we RDP to a workstation with multiple displays, we only see the primary display.  Can't find any options in the connection settings to configure multiple monitors.
> I've found a ticket on the old Jira where a developer suggested it may be a trivial fix that involves adding a few flags and then the ticket went quite in 2015...so just wondering if this feature is in fact being added and if there is any ETA for it?
> Thank you
