How to get a Fox, Rabbit and Bunch of Carrots Across a River...

[Jeff Gaines]

Remember the old riddle about how to get a fox, rabbit and bunch of
carrots across a river?

I've just had to do it with 4 x PCs and 2 x monitors with a variety of GFX
inputs/outputs and a requirement for 1 x PC to have dual monitors.

I'll have a cup of tea and then see if it works...

KVM switches may be your friends.

Thanks, the first two work :-)

The third is VGA only and the new GFX card should arrive Friday, the
fourth (to replace a NAS) should arrive Thursday and its GFX card Friday!

I have a KM switch and an HDMI splitter, colour coded with a printed cheat
sheet! It's a pain trying to track down problems only to discover the
right switches hadn't been pressed...
