I always wanted to have the connection the other way around.

Control the PC using the Amiga keyboard and mouse.

That way you maintain 100% compatibility for games and demo's which hit the Amiga hardware.

The ultimate solution for someone with two monitors, or a dual input monitor is a network KM (no V).

I had hoped that some great coder could port x2vnc to OS3.x using ixemul.library and ixnet.library

Or that Douglas McLaughlin would open source his Synergy client for Amiga OS 4 so that we could get a back-port to OS3.x

Well, I wanted this solution because I did NOT want to have two monitors

Two monitors is fine if the computers are local (I use 3) it's the multiple keyboards and mice that you really want to eliminate. Most modern monitors have multiple inputs so you could get away with just one if you really wanted.

Forget it! [X2VNC for Amiga] All you need really is the registered version of Darren Eveland's "RDesktop" and WinXP_pro on the PC

I don't think I will forget it. RDesktop doesnt seem to supports kb/mouse only. It's sending the gfx over the network which eats up all the network and CPU bandwidth. Totally unnecessary if the computers are all local.
