Linux Headless Multiscreen setup (NVIDIA)

I'm trying to setup a CentOS box in headless mode, and have the work area show up as multiple screens in TeamViewer, allowing for the user to go full screen on two monitors.

However, in headless mode, no matter what I do, TeamViewer only sees it as a single huge screen! :( Any ideas?

Here's my current xorg.conf:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout0"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
Option "Xinerama" "0"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
# generated from default
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
# generated from default
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Unknown"
ModelName "Unknown"
HorizSync 28.0 - 33.0
VertRefresh 43.0 - 72.0
Option "DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "Tesla K40m"
BusID "PCI:13:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "UseDisplayDevice" "none"
Option "MultiGPU" "Off"
Option "SLI" "off"
Option "BaseMosaic" "off"
Option "Stereo" "0"
SubSection "Display"
Virtual 3840 1080
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
Option "RANDR" "Enable"
EndSection

Thanks!

    Dear mstormo,

    Thank you for your post.

    To be able to assist you, we need more details to provide you a solution.

    • What operating system are you using to connect to this headless device?
    • What Teamviewer version are you using?
    • Just to confirm, does your headless system will run with a GUI instead of a CLI?

    We are looking forward to your comments.

    Best regards,

    Christian
