All
Some time back I asked a question, although apparently not very well - 
or I didn't understand the answers ... in any case, I finally had the 
opportunity to test the case ...
    Gateway MX8734 17 inch wide screen laptop with a ViewSonic 20 inch 
wide screen monitor attached to the video out on the laptop
    Mandriva 2009 - if that matters
The image on the ViewSonic is in fact a "magnified" (easier to read for 
these tired old eyes) of the image on the laptop screen.
The assumption then is that if I attached an even larger screen, I would 
find the resulting image even easier to read.
Your mileage may vary - hope this helps
Regards
Fred James

PS:  I was looking at port replicators when I noticed they all seem to 
need MS - then to my joy I found a USB converter that will give me 2 
PS/2 connections from 1 USB port - and it says it is Linux compatible - 
I cannot wait for it to get here!
