[ubuntu-uk] What do I need? (multiple PCs / multiple monitors)

[Mark Harrison]

There is a bit of software whose name I can't remember, hence Google is 
not my friend :-)

You run this software on multiple machines, and stick their monitors 
next to each other across your desktop. One of the machines has a 
keyboard and mouse attached.)

When you run the mouse off the right-hand-side of machine A, it 
effectively transfers a cursor over to a "matching" point on the LEFT of 
machine B, and transfers keyboard control to that machine.


1: What is this called?

2: How scalable is it? (To multiple machines, multiple monitors on a 
given machine, Y axis as well as X axis).

3: Can I, in fact, drag and drop application windows between desktops (x 
would allow me to do this, I'm sure, though I'm not sure about windows 
that overlap multiple x desktops....)

4: Does it allow Windows machines to become part of the "array" (mea 
culpa, I still need a Windows machine for work.) [1]

Regards,

Mark

IE bugs, that's why.
