ScreenRecycler
As part of their Summer of Mac Gems series, MacWorld online profiles ScreenRecycler 1.16:
Wish your Mac had another display so you could spread out your workspace? Most Macs support multiple displays, but for those that don’t—or if you don’t want to go out and buy another monitor—ScreenRecycler 1.16 lets you use another Mac as your second screen.
This app could be quite a boon for computer games that only run in fullscreen and would otherwise block on-screen keyboards or scan panels, making them unplayable for disabled users. With ScreenRecycler, an individual could conceivably display the game on one Mac’s screen, while controlling it on another with their access software. I’m really itching to try out this setup with a fullscreen game on my 24″ iMac and KeyStrokes on-screen keyboard on my 15″ PowerBook’s display.

From the article:
“Performance isn’t as good as a direct display connection, but for text documents, palettes, and other non-demanding items, the virtual display works well.”
So I’m not certain how well this would work with games.
I don’t think it would work displaying a game on the virtual screen, but as KeyStrokes is pretty non-demanding, I would put that on the virtual screen.
I will try it out today and post how it works.:)
