Forums -> Multiple monitors -> Laptop as second display

Gumdoc 2001-11-12 09:08

Is it possible to use a laptop's display as a second display in a multi-monitor setup? If so, is it as simple as finding a VGA cable to connect between the desktop's video card and the external VGA connector of the laptop, or is it more complicated than this?

Thanks for any help.

Most laptops only have a VGA out socket so that ou can connect it to a larger monitor. I've yet to see a laptop with VGA in.

If you were very handy with a soldering iron you could take the internal>/i> connector and find a way to connect it to your PC video card... there's a discussion about this on Slashdot.
