I am running a VNC server on Linux and a TightVNC viewer (ver.1.3.10 from 2/10/2009) on Windows with 2 monitors attached to it. I would like to have a full-screen session on both monitors at the same time, but whenever I do that, my full-screen always uses only one monitor.

Is it possible to extend the full-screen onto both local monitors? Perhaps there is a more modern version of a viewer that could make it work?

(In regular, not full-screen mode, it is easy - just run the VNC server with double desktop size and stretch the window on the local machine across both monitors. It's the full-screen mode that I cannot make work.)

Thank you very much, I really appreciate your help.
