I have a Windows Hyper-V Server setup. On the Hyper-V Server we have Windows 7 Pro 32 Bit installed. On Ubuntu it comes with Remmina RDP client by default. I like the default RDP client, however I can't use two monitors with it. Both monitors are installed on my Ubuntu 13.10 32 Bit system. Both monitors work great inside Ubuntu, I just need them both to work with an RDP client. Is there any other RDP client that will work with two monitors? Or can I configure remmina to work with them both?

You can run rdesktop -f or run rdesktop -f <width>x<height>.

-f

Enable fullscreen mode. This overrides the window manager and causes the rdesktop window to fully cover the current screen. Fullscreen mode can be toggled at any time using Ctrl-Alt-Enter.

-g Desktop geometry (WxH).
If geometry is the special word "workarea", the geometry will be fetched from the extended window
manager hints property _NET_WORKAREA, from the root window. The
geometry can also be specified as a percentage of the whole screen,
e.g. "-g 80%".

Recently I read about FreeRDP. I should support multimonitors, but I have no experiences with it.
