    Dual monitors are not functional with zero client PCoIP

    I am making a trial to get dual monitors operational with a VM via a zero client with View on it, over PCoIP. This is not being functional and I decided I would come to the specialists. Any help would be valued. I cannot go into the display settings in PCoIP mode. The single monitor works great, but I can’t go right-click, properties, Settings tab. The Settings tab is not there. It is there in client mode and it ‘sees’ two monitors, but when I enable the second monitor it reverts back to one.

    Can you answer me one question that What are the settings which you see on the display tab when you navigate into the console of the VM in vCenter?

    I played around with this today and it was working fine, however I have used View 4.5 so I will try recommending updating to that. On the zero-client you ought to be enabling both monitors and try setting the correct orientation. Do let me know thatIs it working if you try to connect from a Windows PC with 2 monitors?

    You cannot be able to run the dual 24 inch monitors on a Dell FX100. That zero client is only having the 64MB of memory, 128MB is necessary for dual 24 inch. The Wyse P20 will be supporting it, also I believe my Samsung NC240 can provide the required support for it. It's not your Virtual Machine, it’s your client. make sure this blog post (You need to notice here that I am talking about the memory difference, and I specially talk about the dual 24 inch problem)

    Hey Thanks for the response But I don’t want to disappoint you, but 24's do work with the FX100. I myself have made them into work 1-to-1 with making use of the host card in the Dell R5400, PCoIP followed by the use of VM PCoIP. It was a good article from you side though I enjoyed it thoroughly. The latest patch/firmware (3.2.0) may resolve your difficulty. Thanks for the response. As much as I wish for 4.5 I am unable to have it yet though. The idea to try View Client on a desktop was a huge thought though, but I by now solved the problem.

    Yeah may be you are right that it might be a firmware 3.2 thing. Of course it could be just a lie that I supposed, I measured I learned that from some geek, but it may have been from wponder (VMware forum guy). I never did test it for my part, I run Samsung's and opted not to buy the FX100 due to the exclusivity of the Samsung solution. Sorry I gave the wrong knowledge

    At the down side of the page it is talking about how to get the Settings tab back for Display Properties. The dual monitors started arbitrarily operational for me. I suppose what did it was to have all the settings you desire for putting in to the View pool, then shut down the VM. Log in to the Zero Client and have it log in to the VM. For me, what it did was power on the VM and distorted all the display settings to the correct declaration and turned on the second monitor.

    my Wyse p20 from time to time attach to both the screens, however at sometimes it doesn't. I can hit crtl+alt+del followed by hitting the esc after it has shown the lock or the task manager list and the second monitor has started working fine. This is win 7, view 4.5 or what on earth the newest version is that released about 5 months ago. It appears like it happen on our wide screen monitors rather than our standard monitors.
