    Hello,

    When I try to use the monitors connected to my secondary graphic card it doesn't work (black screen). Linux VMs only work on my main card (on the both monitors connected), Windows VMs are working.

    My Main Card is GForce 8800 (2 monitors connected)
    My secondary card is ATI 2600 HD (2 monitors connected)

    I had the same problem with PD 5. I don't have this problem with VMWare (but compiz is not working in vmware so it could be linked to 3D acceleration under linux guests).

    TIA,

    Jef

    Jean-Francois,

    To use all displays in your case you'll need to disable Compiz in guest and uncheck VM Configuration > Hardware > Video > 3D Acceleration checkbox.
