P4317Q, use one mouse and keyboard, four PC's

May I know how to use one mouse and keyboard to control  four PC's using the Dell P4317Q? What I want is that I have four screens from four different PC shown on the P4317Q. When I move my mouse from screen 1 to screen 2, the mouse cursor will be in screen 2.

Thank you

* Click my name and private message me the P4317Q service tag number

 

* First, read through the online P4317Q User's Guide
* You are referring to PBP (Picture by Picture) 4 window mode. Each PC would get a 1920x1080 60Hz window. Then choose PIP/PBP Source to select the PC and position the window. See page 38

I had used PBP mode to split out 4 screen from 4 different PC. After that I plug in a mouse into P4317Q monitor. When I move my mouse from screen 1 to screen 2 or screen 1 to screen 3 or screen 1 to screen 4, the mouse cursor will not move to screen 2 or screen 3 or screen 4. What should I do to make it able to make my mouse able to move from screen 1 to other screen?

I think you have to enter the Menu- PIP/PBP and go to PIP/PBP Source and choose either 2/3/4 to make the mouse work in them. Try that and post the results.

I did not have PIP/PBP Source to choose... If you mean WindowSource, my mouse can only move within Window1Source.
