I'm using Ubuntu & I want to use my old windows 7 laptop as second monitor. I've come across a couple of questions around similar issue but none that are specific to my configuration. I'd really appreciate if someone can suggest a solution for this.

What do you mean with "use my old windows 7 laptop as second monitor"? Ubuntu is on another system? – Rinzwind Apr 26 '14 at 22:23
    
I guess he wants to use his laptop's built-in screen as a secondary monitor using software. Like this. – Louis Matthijssen Apr 26 '14 at 22:27
    
That's right.. I'm looking for something like maxivista but free – mindreader Apr 26 '14 at 22:34
