KVM Functionality

from Stardock Forums

Hello, I have the following setup - 

Laptop A (Primary PC) - connected to a 24in monitor (Monitor A)
Laptop B (Secondary PC) - connected to a 24in monitor (Monitor B)

I have installed Multiplicity in KVM mode and would appreciate some clarification around whether or not the software is designed for the following situations -

1. Display Laptop A on the Laptop screen and Monitor A and Monitor B (extended mode)?
2. Display Laptop B on the Laptop screen and Monitor A and Monitor B (extended mode)?
3. Laptop A on the Laptop screen and Monitor A and simultaneously displaying Laptop B on the Laptop screen and Monitor B

(the above situations are all possible with a KVM switch (hardware installed))

Currently, all I can do is display Laptop A on Monitor A or Laptop B on monitor A and monitor B in duplicate mode, not extended mode.

Thank you.

Any connected remote Secondary can only have one monitor displayed on the Primary one at a time.  Any other monitors the remote has, however, can be switched to. Do do this, please see:
