vnc has hotkeys (ctrl-alt-<nr>) to switch between displays.

You can also pin the vnc server to one specific display (-device
qxl,id=video0 -vnc :0,display=video0).  That is probably easiest if you
want use one of them only anyway.  If you configure the guests xorg
server to only use that display the mouse should behave too.

It's also possible to configure multiple vnc servers and assign a
different display to each of them, then start two vnc clients to see
both displays side-by-side.  mouse configuration is quite tricky then
though.

take care,
  Gerd
