VNC Viewer for dual display recommendations
VNC Viewer for dual display recommendations
Hello,
I’m using a Pi 4 to RDP to a Windows Machine. The Pi 4 has two monitors connected. Works great!
I also use VNC to connect to the Pi 4 thin client for remote support of the workstation. But I can’t get both monitors in my VNC session. I can only see the one main monitor. I’m using ultravnc as my viewer. Does anyone have experience with connecting to a wtware thin client and being able to see either monitor desktop? I want to make sure during remote assistance that I can see either display. What vnc viewer would work best for my use case.
Thank you.

Re: VNC Viewer for dual display recommendations
VNC has no support for dual displays. Run second VNC session and connect to port 5901 instead of default port 5900 to see second display.
Re: VNC Viewer for dual display recommendations
Excellent! using port 5901 works perfectly.
I see there is a "Monitor 1" and "Montor 2" in wtware configurator. Are these used to show me what is on the screen of a running Pi thin client? If so, how do I use Monitors?
thank you,

Re: VNC Viewer for dual display recommendations
"Monitor 1" and "Montor 2" tabs are needed to configure what should be placed on these screens - connections and settings. Just open configurator and look what is on these tabs and how they are changed when you're specify in Text tab two displays, connections.
VNC viewer is not yet implemented in wtware configurator.
Re: VNC Viewer for dual display recommendations
Thanks for the clarification Akatik. I see how Monitor tabs work now.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Re: VNC Viewer for dual display recommendations
To confirm...there is a roadmap to implement VNC viewer into configurator? That would be very useful. Any timeline on that update?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Re: VNC Viewer for dual display recommendations
Ok, thank you.
Re: VNC Viewer for dual display recommendations
On Windows side. Run vncviewer.exe once more.
