I have monitors of my two machines side by side and I use them both with a single keyboard/mouse using Google Synergy+ which works great.

But is it possible to use the monitor of my secondary machine as the secondary monitor of my primary? I am on XP so from what I understand I cannot just rdc from secondary to this primary. In any case that would be a different session altogether and I would prefer to be able to extend my desktop over the two monitors.

Any solutions or suggestions? Thanks in advance.
