How to setup a Linux machine to remotely use laptop screen as a second display?
- by Ignas Limanauskas
I am looking for a similar solution to MaxiVista, but for Linux (Ubuntu). I have an Ubuntu machine with just one display attached, but I also have a Windows laptop running a virtual machine with Ubuntu installed. I figured there must be a way to trick the main Ubuntu machine remotely use the virtual machine's display capabilities. After all, X11 does support forwarding and things like that.
Any ideas how to do it using VNC?
I saw some references to xdmx, but instructions so far are vague and do not seem to work on my machine(s).
