Can you "dock" a MacBook w/ Powermac for video?

I want to know if there's any way I can send MacBook video to my powermac g5 to use it's 22" monitor.

Preferably through an Ethernet cable or USB to USB or other wired cord?

As far as i know, the best you could do is use a kvm switcher to go between the cable going to the macbook and the cable going to the G5. Going directly into the G5 would require some sort of input on the graphics cards, which on macs do not exist (afaik).

Yeah, you would just need a way to plug the monitor into your MacBook as well. If it has multiple inputs, then you could get a cable and adapter for the one that your PowerMac isn't using

I thought maybe there was some software around that would let you do it. I know some exists for using iPad as a secondary screen.

iPad as external monitor:

So I was looking for same to use with my "real" computers.
