The entire screen should be visible at once on my laptop. When i unchecked Fit to Windows, readability was perfect but to move from one region of screen to another i had to use scroll bars which was annoying. So everything got squeezed and zero readability. Earlier with this option selected for my 1920x1080 laptop, contents were rendered unreadable because as i was telling you that Nomachine was for some reason trying to capture the 3840x1080 screen onto my laptop's screen. Things work out perfectly.Įverything is readable now with the 'Fit to Windows' Options selected. This is because now Nomachine thinks my ubuntu desktop is single monitor of 1920x1080 and it has to broadcast it to my windows laptop which is also a single screen of 1920x1080.

Upon doing this, afterwards i turned off my dual monitors and tried remote viewing the ubuntu desktop from a windows laptop and voila!, the contents on the 2 screens were squeezed to one screen of 1920x1080 and there is no quality loss.

I installed several other desktop environments in Ubuntu unity like lxde, xfce, lubuntu, xubuntu, mate, enlightenment, plasma. So is it possible that nvidia is merging the two screens into one and that is why Nomachine is not able to detect 2 screens? Is there any other software recommendation that can be made that will work out of box in such scenario? Even Nvidia x-server settings on ubuntu say that screen resolution is 3840x1080. But clearly Nomachine claims that it can detect multiple screens and allow user to view one screen at a time. Now obviously when such a large screen of size 3840 is tried to fit in only 1920 pixels, display quality is very poor and screen is unreadable. When using Nomachine to remote control this desktop from a windows laptop having one screen 1920x1080, the two 1920x1080 screens of the dual-setup get squeezed into one and are shown as one screen of 3840x1080. Nvidia drivers are installed for the proprietary graphics card Quadro K1200. My setup includes ubuntu 16.04 and dual monitors.
