Re: Laptop as KVM to access RasPi

vjp2,

If I connect the RasPi to my laptop by USB is there
any software which allows my laptop to be KVM (Keyboard,
Video, Mouse)?

Yes.  Better yet, the RasPi already comes with such software, and although
you did not mention whats on your laptop it likely also has such software on
board.

(I currently can't remember the names of both host and client prograsm, but
a quick google should give you them).

You could also look for VNC (or something similar).

A remark though. You cannot just plug an USB cable into both the RasPi and
laptop and expect it to work : Both are hosts, and as such will not talk to
each other.

You would need a special USB host-to-host cable (with a hidden proxying
'puter somewhere in the cable), which needs to emulate a standard ethernet
connection.
