linux_n0ob Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 I have a couple of devices such as a samsung pda and game boy and was wondering if there was any way of attaching their lcds to my pc and using them as a secondary display. ALso if you can use it can you lock it out so that the mouse would never leave the main display and move to the mini lcd. I know its a crazy and most likely impossible idea but i figured i should ask. Quote
moonlit Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 It would likely be impossible to use just the screens since that's very costly and requires custom proprietary hardware. However if the devices are full functional you may be able to use VNC. Quote
digip Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 Didn't someone do this already with a Nintendo DS? Cool mod. Quote
Deveant Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 these is a thread posted here, which goes in depth about how to set up a PDA as a sub screen for the PC. http://www.hak5.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4580 Quote
nite_monkey Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 this would be a cool thing to do if you culd get it to work Quote
xorbiz Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Same concept as trying to use the LCD from a laptop. The video hardware is proprietary, making it difficult, if not impossible to use the screen with other hardware. It would be nice if there was a way to do it though. Quote
