2-12 Multi-monitor configurations

Many computers have a frame buffer that is larger in size (as measured in horizontal pixels by vertical pixels) than
what can be displayed on a single monitor. In these situations, the default operation is that a portion of the frame
buffer is used, allowing the utilized portion (containing the Windows desktop) to be displayed on a single
monitor. It is possible, however, to configure a computer so that the Windows desktop occupies the complete
frame buffer—this typically requires multiple monitors to view the complete frame buffer (Windows desktop).
In Figure 2-12, the Windows desktop is configured to occupy the complete frame buffer of the Remote Computer,
which, for this particular Remote Computer, requires two monitors to display the Windows desktop.

When a Local Computer establishes an RGS connection to the Remote Computer of Figure 2-12, the Remote
Computer will, as usual, transmit its complete frame buffer. In order for the local user to view the complete desktop
of the Remote Computer, the Local Computer must have a comparably-sized frame buffer, which will typically
require two monitors to view (see Figure 2-13 ).

If the Local Computer desktop expands across two
monitors, RGS will be able to create a Remote
Display Window that displays the complete Remote
Computer frame buffer.
