try a program called Synergy.. it lets you combine the power of 2 computers and use their displays... it should work, my friend uses 2 CRTS ans a laptop now

but the screen, typically, isnt an input device so you will need something else running to output to it

".......Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware. It's intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own monitor(s). ......"
