with nVidia, you can twinview (both displays as one) or clone view (both displays showing same content). On Tuesday 11 December 2007 10:27:52 am James Knott wrote:

Hi,
I am investigating obtaining another machine and monitor for my amateur radio use, but I do not want to have an additional kb and mouse so I figured I could cable it into my KVM switch.
What I would like to find out is if a dual output on the nVidia GeForce 8800GT can be split i.e. with the same image going to two different monitors.
Has anyone accomplished this 'splitting' the signal on opensuse 10.2 or is it non possible?
Since you're running Linux, you don't even need a KVM. You can configure your computers to use XDMCP, so that any computer can be an X terminal for any other computer. I do this all the time at home. This way you can easily switch between displays, without any extra hardware.
You can also use tightvnc, Xvnc to send the keyboard, mouse, and screen from one computer to another. That is what I use for my 13+ computers and one keyboard, mouse, dual-head setup. There is also ssh for console apps, and ssh -X for X apps (but is sometimes slower than vnc, depending on the task).
