Need help getting multi monitor function to work.
What I've tried with no success:
1. Enabled XML editing in VMM.
2. Launched target vm > view > details > Video QXL > changed the "heads" value from 1 to 2.
3. Rebooted VM.
1. Launched target vm > view > details > Tried all the differernt video models.
1. Navigate to target vm > view > details > Display Spice > changed Spice Server Type to VNC server but it returned with: “Error changing VM config: unsupported config : chardev ‘spicevmc’ not supported without spice graphics.
Full error message:

1. I also followed a Youtube video that showed how Remote Viewer has multi monitor capabilities. I installed and used remote viewer but that too didn't provide any options to add additional displays.
At a loss here. I'm hopoing someone knows how to get multi monitors set up for VMM.
