    Hi,

    I have a desktop, and a laptop. I want to use a single keyboard, a mouse, and a monitor with both of these using a KVM switch.

    When I am using my laptop, I also want to make use of laptop screen. I was wondering is there is way to have dual screens when using KVM.

    I would appreciate if you can recommend me a KVM switch, or maybe there is some software solution.

    I am using Ubuntu Linux on my laptop, and Windows XP on my desktop.

    May be there is a way to use laptop screen along with the monitor even when working on Windows?

    Thank you.
