I just came across an article on Linux Journal that mentions a program named x2x which might be helpful. The mention of x2x is on the third page of the article, and I've included one quotation:
Build a Large-Screen Command Center with the RPi 2 http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/build-large-screen-command-center- rpi-2?page=0,2&utm_source=phplist11&utm_medium=email&utm_content=text&utm_campaign=LinuxCounter%20Newsletter%202016%2F01 I guess I could mention that the article deals with two (large) monitors driven by separate Raspberry Pis runniing, essentially, Debian (Raspian)--now read the quote above. <quote> With x2x, you can move the mouse (and keyboard focus) from one RPi to the other, one monitor to the other, as though the screens were attached to a single computer. It's fast and seamless. </quote> I've just barely skimmed the article, so I make no promises / endorsements-- just something that might be helpful.
