This was actually the first thought that came into my head too, but Synergy just lets you use one mouse and keyboard on two computers. Meaning that what he will see on the laptop screen will be running on the laptop and not on the desktop (which is what the VNC solution would effectively do). Though I will give a shout out to Synergy - it's a really awesome utility and I use it a lot! -- Randy Barlow http://www.electronsweatshop.com -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
