You can set this to 4 for quad-monitor support, or even higher if you use more monitors, or want to sub-divide each monitor further.Ģ) Enable the multi-monitor settings by checking the option to ‘Prevent windows from popping up in the middle of monitors’ and ‘Interpret maximize as maximize to a screen part’.ģ) Optionally, enable a minimum resolution below which the screen should not be split. Here, N is the number of monitors being used with the remote session, in this example, 3 for triple-monitor support. For example, if you are using three monitors with Remote Desktop, configure SplitView as shown below:ġ) ‘Split the desktop horizontally in ‘N’ equal parts’.
#RDP MULTIMON NOT WORKING UPDATE#
In the latest update to SplitView, the remote desktop session can be split evenly across multiple monitors - not just two. SplitView automatically re-positions dialogs and windows so they appear correctly on a monitor – not split between two adjacent monitors.

When you maximize windows, they maximize to one monitor. Here is where SplitView 2007 comes in! SplitView splits the desktop back into multiple parts – one for each monitor.

They want a true multi monitor solution with remote desktop, not a large display stretched over two or more monitors. Those who are used to the efficiency that true multi monitors provide immediately see the problem with this. When windows and dialog boxes pop up, they get positioned incorrectly – they are half in one monitor, and half on another. If you maximize windows, they maximize across all monitorsĢ. The remote session sees your virtual desktop as one giant display, not as the two (or more) separate displays over which it spans.ġ. Now that looks great on paper, but in practice there are some problems. For users who are already using multiple monitors, this is a big enhancement as now they can effectively use all their monitors in a remote session. If the client computer has multiple monitors, then the remote session can span over all monitors, creating a large virtual desktop that covers all monitors. This feature is also available in the Remote Desktop Connection (Terminal Services Client 6.0) for Windows XP. One of the new features of the Terminal Server/Remote Desktop client in Windows Vista is the support for multiple monitors. Using Remote Desktop with multiple-monitors We have just released an update to SplitView that lets you use three, four or even more(!) monitors with remote desktop (Microsoft’s RDP, Citrix, Radmin) in addition to the dual-monitor support that has already existed. It turns out that two monitors isn’t enough for a lot of people - many users have asked us for support for three, four or even more monitors with remote desktop! We are happy to oblige. SplitView is becoming very popular lately for using dual-monitors with remote desktop programs like Citrix, Remote Desktop or Radmin.
