Is it possible to use extended displays with DVI splitters?
The goal is to share a dual monitor setup between two windows machines, the primary one being windows 7 PRO x64. Dual boot is not an option, I need to use two physical tower PCs.
I have purchased a KVM switch that has a single DVI output port - two in for two machines in.
I have two monitors that are both DVI that I wish to use an extended desktop on.
Both machines have a single DVI port. I have attached splitters to these but all I get is a mirror image.
I keep reading that all you can do is mirror with a splitter, but at my old government job I had this same setup working with a DVI splitter (well two, one per machine) and a kvm switch, I just can't remember what brand the splitter was. Then again, it was with Windows Vista... so who knows.
