:) yes. For Windows, that's exactly what SimpleKVM does

You could use SimpleKVM to detect the USB change, and trigger the monitor input change.

For Windows, I wrote SimpleKVM. I'm proud of the little monitor diagram it shows. Keen to hear your thoughts if you get to try it.

If you only have two computers, you just need one instance of SimpleKVM to switch between the computers.

Nice write-up! I wrote https://github.com/fiddyschmitt/SimpleKVM which makes the process easy on Windows.

As others have mentioned, you can use a cheap USB switch if you don't have an in-built KVM.

DDC/CI is quite interesting. Most OEMs seem to implement it just fine. But some (like LG) need special handling.

Cool. I think rdp2tcp uses virtual channels for tunneling:

Woah!

Yes exactly. One file in each direction made arbitration easier.

In the future I will implement a single file to handle both directions.
