two monitors - one keyboard

[Tom]

True - synergy is the solution for this!
Thanks for the hint!
The Windows client installation is straight forward, so is the configuration.
For the Solaris server package I went to
http://www.sunfreeware.com/
(you need to install gcc if it is not installed yet)
Then edit your synergy.conf file:

section: screens
B B B B B B B B B B B B  # two hosts named:
B B B B B B B B B B B B  sun01:
B B B B B B B B B B B B  win02:
end

section: links
B  B  B B B B B B B B  # win02 is to the left of sun01
B  B B  B B B B B B B  sun01:
B B B  B  B  B  B  B  B  B  B B  B  left = win02

B  B B  B B B B B B B  # sun01 is to the right of win02
B  B  B  B B  B B B  win02:
B B B B  B  B  B B B B B B B B B B B B B  rightB  = sun01

Start the server with:
/usr/local/bin/synergys -c synergy.conf

and the client on the windows machine.
The only thing which is not possible is - of course - to unlock the windows
screen. So you still have to use the win keyboard for that ...

Cheers,
Tom

I believe this is a case for Synergy :
http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/

It supports Solaris as wel as WinPC , though I haven't tested it over Solaris.

If that so , please share

 You can do it the other way around:

 a) The PC should have a dual port video.
 b) You then configure extended desktop on the PC
 c) You run vncserver on the Sun
 d) You run vncviewer on the PC and 'move' the window to the right side
 for example.
 e) You can then move your cursor to the right and be on the Sun vnc
 session, and move left and be on the PC.
