How to get VMware Horizon client to launch using both monitors on IGEL OS?


Question about Horizon Client session configuration. If I have a device in a 2 monitor profile group how do I get the Horizon client session to launch using both monitors? Once the session is launched I can change the setting during the session but I cannot get it to auto launch using both monitors.

Not sure for VMWare, but for Citrix, you have to set this option.

I assume there is a similar setting for Horizon.


I have the same issue but haven’t come across a solution. Hoping someone has the answer.


Try the following setting.

Sessions>RDP>RDP Global>Window – set the multimonitor setting to expand.

This setting should effect both RDP and VMWare Horizon sessions.


That worked Jack! Thanks

Thanks everyone for your responses.
