[Gllug] bit OT : Using laptops as KVM

A client of mine has a couple of racks of headless servers (mixture of
widoze and linux)  and several old laptops: They don't wan't to buy a
KVM setup, and have been using a couple of
old screens and keyboards for the occassional ( < 1/week ) bios level
diagnostic. Is there
any way to get a laptop LCD to display VGA from the server? My
personal advice was to
buy a rackable LCD & keyboard setup but they seem hell-bent on reusing
hardware..

Anyone know if this is possible? It seems silly to rejig a laptop LCD
to do this, but
said I'd "ask around".

Tid.
