I am using a Dell laptop in dual monitor mode. I can get dual spanning monitor support no problem. What I want though is two virtual desktops but I don't want them on the same monitor I want 1 desktop per monitor. The laptop and the external monitor I am using are different resolutions and different sizes and different distances from me so regular dual spanning mon is distracting but I want the extra space. Is there a way to do this in Ultramon I haven't seen or even with another program? I spent most of yesterday afternoon searching google et al. and found no answer so now I am posting here in the hopes that I am not crazy for wanting this. I used to do it under X years ago and I would hope that there was some sort of Windows analog by this point.

BeTwin might be useful, but it's not exactly what you're looking for.

Yeah that's an interesting product but not quite what I was looking for. I kept searching yesterday and as far as I can tell no on else really wants this functionality on a Windows machine. Even X11 it is considered the "old" way of doing things. I guess I'll have to live with it.

Sounds like you might just want two systems- I mean, how much does a second cheap PC cost? Also, there is an X-windows client that runs in windows for remote X sessions. More, if you have a windows server around, Terminal Services is very cool. You can multiple screens at any resolution, but it's not good for graphics really.

Well Actually X11 doesn't consider that the old way, they consider it the STANDARD way... although there is a new extension (xinerama), Having multiple desktops is the DEFAULT way...
