Re: virt-viewer raspberry pi monitor mapping

What I have are Windows 7 clients that have a camera viewing software , some with one monitor and some with more. I want to virtualize the clients and then be able to just display the screens remotely . They may be a better or other solutions for sure just had this plan stuck in my head makes it hard to see other options.

There are lots of examples of using one machine as the X server and a second as a fake "second monitor" for that same X server at https://askubuntu.com/questions/28608/how-do-you-use-an-android-tablet-as-a-second-display/888269#888269 - Ubuntu and Raspbian are reasonably close cousins, so you may find that something there works.  If you genuinely want multiple monitors from one multi-monitor Windows VM, I'd go with this as a first option; it's your second approach of making the second display on the Pi.

As a different option, can you connect the virtual display directly into the Windows VM, for example via Zonescreen, rather than pushing multiple X11 screens out?

Finally, I'd be interested to know why you need the multiple monitors.  Can you give us any more information about what's being displayed?  There might be alternative approaches.

Hi,
What I am trying to accomplish is using multiple raspberry pi units , one for each monitor of a multi monitor windows VM. I have read there is an option to allow more than one spice connection per VM but I was hoping to be able to map monitors say on the first pi 1:1 and on the second 1:2 kind of thing but it knows there is no second monitor on the pi and says my mappings are invalid and ignores them.

I have tried many things to make a second display on the pi to fool the software but that doesn't seem to work either. I have tried to search for information on this but have had little luck. I know I am using an older versions on virt-viewer package  4.0 I think due to trying to compile newer versions of spice-gtk seem to have issues with a newer libssl I think.

I have been banging around on this a bit and maybe I am looking at this wrong, I am not really to worried input as these are only for display.

Thanks
