Abstract
A mechanism for distributed multiple monitor display split using multiple client devices in a virtualization system is disclosed. A method of the invention includes determining, by a remote access protocol server executed by a computing device, that a monitor configuration of a primary client device is not compatible with a multiple monitor configuration of a virtual machine (VM) hosted by a hypervisor of the computing device, establishing a communication session with remote access protocol clients of multiple client devices of a logical client unit comprising the primary client device, wherein each of the multiple client devices comprises at least one monitor, and for each VM monitor of the multiple monitors configured for the VM, mapping, by the remote access protocol server, the VM monitor to a monitor of a client device in the logical client unit.
