VMware error when attempting to use multiple monitors

**Mohegan** · 07-05-2010

Hi,
I would like to know is it possible to divide a screen into 2 screens in Vmware. If yes then how, I want this to play some video files. . I have a two monitors support on my system. The other one is kept as it is which I want to use these amen on my system. I have a nvidia graphic card support on my system with backtrack support. I am not able to get the display in the other one.

There are ways to have dual monitor support on your system with special software. And if there is another way to VMware. This is software that emulates an OS. And you can play two games simultaneously. There, there. If not for other software that really cut to the screen in two. Here you need to have latest drivers and some information on using Vmware.

I don't think this will work. Can create a conflict. Test the pc by shuts down and turn the screen on leaving the screen connected to the outlet. Disconnect the system and monitor and try back again. The ECRN then shows that he recognizes when it is connected to pc or not. Try to test and you will understand the working process. This means that even if the computer is not turned recognizes the screen to be connected or not on the price of the PC.

Unfortunately the solution that I am doing is following the PC that I used I connect to one or the other. The disadvantage of this can that you might not see the taking of the screen at least a draw. You can also use the windowed mode of video games and tools to give prominence to play the windows and watch a movie together. But that needs lots of configuration.

Yes it is right that you can try a window mode of the same. On the one side it is possible to run QEMU VMWare Virtual Box and all the pseudo-virtualization solutions will not really work. The issue lies with the interface support of the devices. You can try to have a extra tool for doing this. That will help you to use this thing in a much better way.

The configuration of a bridge on an Ethernet connection is simple, all on a wireless connection that is an obstacle course, especially because some chipsets do not support wireless bridge at all. So I had to try several methods found right and left, but without much success. But once my two machines were able to communicate, no way to access the Internet from the guest OS. And once this is resolved, I realized that everything worked very well in fixed IP, but not DHCP.

You must go to the preferences of your virtual machine, in the Network. In the network adapter enabled (a default adapter), select Network adapter host in the list Attached to and enter tap0 as interface name. It'll just run VirtualBox and verify the proper functioning of the bridge network. It will also create a specific file: sudo gedit / etc / network / if-down.d / vbox_network.
