Is there a way to fake a dual (second) monitor
I made Windows think I had two connected displays like this:
- Right click on the desktop, click 'Screen Resolution'
- Click 'Detect' on the next screen
- Click 'Another display not detected' and under the multiple displays option select 'Try to connect anyway on: VGA'
- Click 'Apply'
- You can now enable your desktop to be extended as if you have a second screen plugged into your computer.
To view the second screen. This can be done via LogMeIn or TeamViewer on iOS, Android, Windows, Mac and I believe Linux:
I used TeamViewer as I already use it, so already have it installed
- Opened TeamViewer on iPad
- Connect to the computer setup previously
- Using a 'Monitor' button at the bottom, select and show screen number 2.
- iPad now shows screen 2 from PC.
Another free solution that works:
- install TightVNC
- install a virtual display driver like this or the one coming with zonescreen
- extend the Desktop across both displays
- start TightVNC Server
- in TightVNC properties go to Display, Sharing area and select 'Full desktop'
- start vncviewer and connect to localhost
- scroll to the left/right to your virtual display and you're done
Okay, I found the solution on this site, in another question.
Since you want Windows to think there are two physical monitors, maybe Matrox PowerDesk or Virtual Display Manager would fit your needs.
