I have 2 19" lcd displays that I am currently using with a windows box. I would like
to hook up a macmini AND a powerbook 12" to the setup, using KVM.
I would like to use extended desktop and not mirroring to do this, for each
machine.
Is this possible ? How do I do this?
If I replace the powerbook by a macbook pro (which I intend to do soon),
will I be able to do this then ?
Thanks!

Sorry for not being clear. What I want to do is to drive 2 external monitors
with the powerbook closed. However the powerbook has only one dvi out.
I want to do the same with the mac mini.
The whole thing should be controlled by a kvm, connected to the 2 monitors
and a keyboard/mouse.

Sorry, you can't do that. You can only hook up as many monitors as you have DVI connections.

The 12" Powerbook doesn't have an ExpressCard slot.
