Of course not. There is no video in on a laptop, just a video out. You can
connect your laptop to an external display and you can share that display
with another machine using a switch box. You can also connect a client
running on the PC with an X server running on your laptop which will get
you the effect you want. For Linux you do this by either sshing into the
PC with X forwarding enabled or by rlogining in and setting the DISPLAY
variable to your laptop's IP address (setenv DISPLAY ip:0.0). If you are
running Windows you'll have to use something like VNC which is less
effecient than X forwarding but it still works.
Maybe a slightly wrongly worded question from me.
What i meant was can remove the LCD screen from the laptop and connect the
wires from the screen to the output on my video card on the pc?
