a question of all questions

[Windmill 1521]

Is it possible to hook up two monitors so they create a landscape but are rendered by two different machines? For example, if I hooked up a laptop to a monitor via hdmi that my desktop is also hooked up to, would it be possible to render what is on my desktop on both monitors in a landscape but have each render for only one monitor? Aw yeaaaaaaa

You motherfucker, stomping on my dreams like its cool.

I'm sure it can be done but the question is why the hell would you do that?

Unless you got a 40+ inch monitor or something lol...

A laptop and external monitor is hooked up creating a landscape(you can drag shit from one monitor to another). But a desktop renders what is on the external monitor and the laptop renders what is on the laptop.

Best you could do is have the desktop do a multimonitor setup using the laptop's screen.

This is probably the closest you're going to get to what you want:

Ooooh dear

[Mitch 2111]

would be pretty cool if you could drag windows between the computers

synergy-foss is still pretty baller

synergy-foss wasn't working for me, but I found a similar program called mouses without borders. You can allegedly drag windows across with this program, but I haven't been able to do it yet.

Is there any reason you can't just use a remote desktop session such as MSTSC? It's fairly easy to setup and that's what I use to access my home server from within the network, just pop up a session and log into the 2nd computer. So all that the other computer needs is to have power and an ethernet connection and you can full control it.

But then TeamViewer would be so much simpler, plus you can control different computers via Android/iOS interfaces along with windows

Well if were talking about viewing over the internet and such then that's a completely different realm. All you have to do is name the computer you want to connect to, share that computer, then that's it. It's a built in MS service for managing local computers, also if your internet went down would you be able to use TeamViewer? I honestly don't know, I don't know how it does everything.
