Hello,
I would like to test a dual Monitor F17 system on a VM. I have access to VMWARE and QEMU can either of those be configured to have dual monitors? I would rather use QEMU so please let me know I you know how to make that work.
Thanks for you time,
Pat ---

I haven't tried it, but some Googling suggests that SPICE can do this:
The qxl option: -qxl <num> [,ram=megs] Set 'num' qxl display devices, each with RAM size of 'megs' MB (current default=64MB)
See http://spice-space.org/docs/spice_user_manual.pdf . I am not sure if virt-manager has the ability to configure this graphically, but it's definitely supposed to work with direct qemu invocation.

Please be more specific. Two monitors on the same graphics card?; or: two monitors each on a different backplane graphics card?; or: two monitors, one on a backplane graphics card, plus one on a USB-connected frame buffer?; or, ...? Also: multi-seat (one user per monitor) or multi-head (only one user total over all monitors)?
Some of those don't even work when F-17 runs on bare hardware. For instance: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51012 The cases that have worked are: two monitors on the same backplane card (multi-head), and one monitor on a backplane card plus one monitor on a Plugable brand USB docking station (which is a specific case of multi-seat with USB-connected frame buffer.)
