Remote Desktop and gamming = teh suck

Got tired of two KB's and two mice so I enabled Remote Desktop (RD) (XP)
Works great as long as you are not planning on playing any games.
Doom3 will not run as it lacks an OpenGL driver?
FarCry gets as far as the splash screen before doing nothing else.

Anyone have any ideas on what I can do. It would appear that when the resolution changes for the game to start that RD gets confused about what is going on.
I guess a KVM switch could work too. Any recommendations?

Yea go with a KVM, remote desktop performs poorly with graphic intense apps.

I usually use Belkin KVM, just make sure you look at the inputs and outputs and buy away. Some support usb etc. Some only support certain resolutions. etc.

I'm fixing to look for one that does the same as well as usb hopefully, at least 4 port. Should cost a shiny penny!
