Just a heads-up: this program doesn't behave like a dual-head computer. Both computers run their own instance of X, and applications can't be dragged from one screen to another. Really, this program is closer to a software KVM switch. It allows you to use one keyboard and mouse to control two computers. Which definitely has its uses, but I'm not sure if it is what you were looking for. Tom P.S. I got the software up and running on my computers, let me know if you need help. _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
