Hello Matan and others Primarily I want to use the first display for standard input and display. I want to use the second for display only. Do you see any problems with that? Also in case I might want to use the second display for input as well would you explain how the association between keyboard and display is made? That is how is the first display associated with your normal keyboard and the second display associated with the keyboard through the PS2 port?
