Sun Ray Software supports specific multiple monitor configurations as described in Chapter 12, Multiple Monitor Configurations. When using the Windows connector, the following monitor configurations are supported by the multi-monitor feature on a Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8, and Windows Server 2012 remote desktop session:
A multi-monitor configuration on a Sun Ray Client with dual
video connectors, specifically a Sun Ray 2FS Client or Sun Ray
Client 3 Plus Client. You must specify the -X
xrandr
option of the uttsc
command.
A multi-monitor configuration with Oracle Virtual Desktop
Clients. The default -X xinerama
option of
the uttsc command is used.
A multihead group configuration with Xinerama enabled. Two
monitors connected to Sun Ray 2FS Clients or Sun Ray 3 Plus
Clients in a multihead group will be enumerated to Windows as
a single monitor with the combined dimensions of the two
monitors. The default -X xinerama
option of
the uttsc command is used.
When playing a video in the primary display, the video will stop playing if you drag the video window to the secondary display. This is a limitation in Windows.
The Xinerama enumeration is enabled by default for the Windows
connector. To disable this feature, use the -X
off
option of the uttsc command. Refer
to the uttsc man page for more information
about the -X
option.
For detailed information about how to configure the remote desktop session to use multiple monitors, see Configure Monitor Settings for a Remote Session.
The supported configurations for multihead group size and geometry
are the same when using a Windows session. If you want to span the
remote desktop session across multiple monitors, you can use the
full screen mode (-m
option of the
uttsc command) together with a multihead group.
