Just did some testing on this and the issue appears to be the vncserver on the linux side. By itself it doesn't support xrandr which is necessary for multiple monitors and has been part of MC's requirements since theaterview was added.

What I do here is use the dummy xserver and x11vnc on top of that. It works without any issues. Can even use remote desktop protocol with xrdp as well.

stevemac:
thx Bob. 

Working OK.

Hi Bob,
we are running into issues as well. We were using just using vncserver on our (console only debian 8) linux machine in the past, which now fails with latest mediacenter.
I followed your instructions here to install xserver-xorg-video-dummy and x11vnc (https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,109419.msg757258.html).

Should these steps still work without any problems?
I installed both packages (with all prerequisites), updated the xorg.conf, but the x-server won't start with the dummy device.

It should.
How are you trying to start it?
