Context
I installed Ubuntu 21.04 in a Hyper-V VM on Windows 10. It appears to be working great!
I then followed the awesome directions here:
How to install Ubuntu 20.04 on Hyper-V with enhanced session
'Enhanced session' support allows for things like full-screen and multiple monitor support.
This also appears to be working well!
Side note about the instructions there
Edit xrdp.ini
The directions there say:
If you receive an error at the end of the install script, there is one more thing to do. Using your favorite editor, open /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini
I didn't receive an error, but in order to get the enhanced session support to work, I did have to edit xrdp.ini as he directs.
Hyper-V Quick Create
I used 'Hyper-V Quick Create' to create my VM. I didn't go through all the manual steps he describes there involving UEFI. The VM appears to work fine.
OK, onto the rest of the context for the question.
Full Screen
If I move the size slider all the way up:
it launches full screen which is nice.
My monitor resolution is 3840x2160 so increasing the display scale is desired. When I do so as follows:
it works fine.
Use all my monitors
Now, let's say I log out and reconnect. This time, I select 'Use all my monitors':
Amazingly, this works! I get a desktop across two external monitors and the laptop display. Three screens in all!
This time however, if I go to increase the display scale to 200%:
I hit 'Apply', then 'Keep Changes' in the 'Keep these display settings' dialog. However, it appears to immediately revert to 100% scale.
Question
Is there a way to increase the display scale when connected via the 'Use all my monitors' option?
