One/no monitors on host, multiple monitors on client

[rrankin]

Hey all, I am trying to access my laptop from my desktop.  Ideally my laptop would be closed and stored somewhere, so there are no monitors attached to it.  As a result, when I connect via NoMachine it defaults to one monitor, even when I click “Fullscreen on all screens.”  Is there any way to get it to show across two screens even though there are not two screens on the host?  Or, is there any way to trick the host into thinking it has two monitors attached so it will show two monitors on the client?

Thanks in advance–and apologies if this has been asked before, I have done a fair amount of googling but haven’t been able to find anything.

When connecting to the laptop, you are attaching to its physical display, so on the client you can only see the monitors that are physically available on the server.
