Anyway, in our NOC we current have two LCD projectors displaying outputs from two different computers. On one of the display's, I would like to be able to take 4 VGA outputs from 4 workstations, and display it on the screen (aka: Hollywood square style).
This kind of problem is normally solved using software. If the applications driving the 4 VGA displays are all using X-Windows, then try an X Window manager that supports capturing a window and displaying it in miniature form in a dashboard or button bar. It should be possible to adapt this easily to display the 4 applications in a 2 x 2 matrix.
An X window manager like ratpoison or ion can easily do 2x2 tiling of windows, mixing continuously displayed host and remote node sessions. Chris
