Using the laptops VGA output as a input

[sarkout]

hi folks

Everybody has used his laptops VGA output to connect it to a TV or monitor.
but what I really wanted to know is how you just could connect two laptops / laptop<-desktop to each other using only the vga cable and the VGA port like
http/t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQuc3J1qrjngrAKxm34gcLC00fmldXxVIOqzpEfrg04_DwNOWioXQ

so you would use the screen of the other laptop as a external screen.
so is this possible ?

You would say just hook two laptops through VGA with each other. but I am afraid of a fried Videocard so

so something like this http/forums.cnet.com/7723-7587_102-148463.html

but those solutions are no good for me


I hope you understand me

VGA ports are output only - you cannot connect 2 outputs together.

One interface has to be "output" and one interface has to be "input".

You cannot mix "input with input" or "output with output". Simple as that.

(desktop/laptop) VGA output --> VGA input (HDTVs, LCD monitors)

It doesn't work that way sorry..

LOL i know it's not possible but is it possible to change the output of my laptop to a input?

No. There is software around that will accomplish what you want.

 

[Supermuncher85]

Software is called maxivista: http/www.maxivista.com/ I used for a while till I went eyefinity. Fairly priced too at $4o.

that's trough lan,
but thank all for your help.

i wanted a potable screen for servers etc but solution

 

[Supermuncher85]

A server without lan connection? Just saying maxivista works really great if you want to span the screen of older computers.
