Hello all,
I am in the need to have a second monitor, and it needs to be a low profile monitor (about the size of a tablet). Has anyone had luck using a tablet as a secondary monitor in Arch? I tried Splashtop Streamer and that didn't work. I couldn't get the monitor to see my PC, which is connected to the network via physical wire.
I also saw TwomonUSB, anyone have experience with this?

EDIT: changed topic to reflect tablet or USB monitor to use as a second display.

You probably want to use VNC.

Isn't VNC used for taking control of a computer? If that's the case, this will not work in this situation, instead of taking control of my main computer from the tablet, I'd like to extend my desktop to it, or a second ultra thin monitor. From the looks of it, I may be looking at a second ultra thin monitor. I've seen some USB monitors out there, which have the right footprint.
Does anyone have any experience using USB monitors with Arch?

Been reading up on VNC, and apparently, it can be set up to use the tablet as a second monitor. Has anyone done this with Arch? Any help would be appreciated. So far I have these two links for reference:

Any other tips are appreciated.
