[vbox-dev] VRDP and multiple consoles ...

[Joseph Smith]

Hi All,

Is it possible to use VRDP to a guest with multiple monitors and have a RDP 
connection for each/either monitor?

Sure ... what's the point of having a VM with multiple monitors if you are going 
to access it remotely.  Actually ... this setup is used mainly for testing a 
custom application which relies on a multi-monitor configuration.

The goal is to be able to remotely access the VM periodically and connect to 
either or both monitors.

The guest is running openSuse 11.2 and I am relying on the RDP capabilities of 
VirtualBox to connect to the console of the VM.

Using IDisplay::getScreenResolution (monitor ID) I am able to get the display 
geometry details for each of the consoles.  


Using IConsole::remoteDisplayInfo only provides port information for one VRDP 
screen (seems to always be monitor ID = 0).

Does this mean I will not be able to use VRDP to connect to a monitor other than 
the primary?  Is it possible/likely in the future that 
IConsole::remoteDisplayInfo will return a list of objects where each entry in 
the list would be for each monitor of a multi-monitor configuration?

Any ideas how to work around this ... or am I missing somthing ?

Thanks,
Joe
