The mouse can be moved into this dead zone, and when I initiate "workspace switcher" it looks like attached image.

The laptop has a screen resolution of 1280 x 800, the 24" monitor is 1920 x 1080.īecause the laptop sits lower than the monitor, and because of both the resolution and physical size differences, a virtual "dead zone" appears above my laptop. I have a 15.4" laptop that I connect to a 24" Dell monitor when I'm at work. Result: firefox should not end up squished into the left side of the screen. This is more of a limitation of the RDP client than of SplitView.0) Install unity 3.8.14 and restart your sessionĢ) Ensure right monitor is primary (ugly)ģ) open firefox and place on left edge of left monitor If the height of the monitors is different, there is an empty spot on the larger monitor, that the terminal services client will not cover. This works best if the height of the monitors is same or nearly same. This will let you use Remote Desktop with two dual monitors of different resolutions. Here you need to change the “Screen Division” so that the left monitor’s width is specified in “XXX” pixels on left, and use the second radio button instead of the first (which is for equal parts). The SplitView Options need to be configured as shown below: Stretch(resize) the window to it’s full size and position so it fits both monitors from top to bottom. If the session came up maximized, un-maximize it. You can reduce the height by a little bit to account for the local taskbar. Use the following on the command line to start remote desktop: For example, if you were using two monitors with 16 horizontal resolutions, use width=1680+1400=3080 and height=1050 (the smaller vertical resolution of the two monitors). Set the width to the combined width of your monitors, and set the height to the smallest monitor's height. Invoke remote desktop with the width and height arguments instead of span.

It is possible to span monitors with Remote Desktop with unequal resolutions, but requires some tweaking, as explained below. O Top-left monitor being the primary - the screen needs to be orientated O Total resolution of all monitors not exceeding 4096 x 2048 The client needs the following for span mode to work correctly: This is explained in a little more detail at. Only some configurations are supported by Remote Desktop client in span mode.
