Linking Two Computers
For various reasons, I've been working at hooking up my old laptop (I think it's a Latitude X3000) and external hard drive to my TV through a VGA port on the laptop dock. I really wanted to use this computer remotely, but now I'm running into some trouble.
I have Air Mouse running currently, which is an app for the iPhone that works as a wireless keyboard and mouse for the computer. However, what I'm aiming for is to use the keyboard and mouse on the laptop I'm using now to remotely control the laptop connected to the TV, while outputting the video to the LCD screen. I've tried using Remote Desktop Connection, which works, but it logs me off on the X3000 and then the output to the TV is lost.
What I need is something that will allow me to use my keyboard and mouse on my current laptop (A Latitude D620) to wirelessly control my X3000, without bothering the current monitor output settings.
To make it a little more confusing, the X3000 only supports a 4:3 aspect ratio, while the D620 has 16:9 support and, of course, the LCD is 16:9. So ideally, I'd like to use Remote Desktop Connection to allow use of the D620's keyboard and mouse as well as it's widescreen display, but then I need a way to wirelessly send the 16:9 display back to the X3000 to output to the LCD.
Any ideas or suggestions the community has to offer would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Kyle
