Hi,
I'm using X2Go Client 4.1.1.1 (Qt - 4.8.6) on Windows 10 to connect to a CentOS 7.7.1908 machine running x2goserver and x2goagent 4.1.0.3.
If I start an X2Go session on the remote machine from my Windows desktop with two monitors, I can set the display to take up all of one of my displays by choosing "Display 1" or "Display 2". However, if I suspend that session, log in with my laptop and change the display layout, when I log back in on my desktop I can't restore the same single-full-screen setup without terminating the session and restarting it. Ctrl-Alt-F tries to span both monitors (which usually fails spectacularly), and Ctrl-Alt-Shift-F doesn't do anything at all (not sure if it should). I took a glance at /etc/x2go/keystrokes.cfg on the remote machine and the wiki page about keybindings, but didn't really get anywhere.
Does this have something to do with the Xinerama extension? I know if I start a session on the Windows machine I have to have it enabled to get the single-full-screen option to work.
Thanks, Randy

- Is the Laptop also Windows?
- Can you please go into details regarding "fails spectacturlarly"?
- what version of the nxagent package do you have?
- Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F is Fullscreen on one Screen while Ctrl-Alt-F is Fullscreen over all Screens. The system will try to determine the client-side screens via xinerama. So you should check your X-Server's (usually vcxsrv) xinerama setting.
On the server you will the xgoagent log file in /tmp/.x2go-<username>/C-<username>-<displaynumber>-.../ In the log should see something like "Info: Screen [0] resized to geometry [1440x810] fullscreen [0]." when pressing the mentioned keystrokes."
Does this help?
