Yes, this is a viable solution, but not if you have the la= ptop and no desktop.
When I had workstation I also did use synergy.

My wonderful working solution is One computer for every screen. :))
Connect all them with synergy and it seems to be one computer! :)

I am running a synergy setup with gentoo, mint, osx and windows8 and it
is much better than every multi monitor solution.

I know this is more a workaround as a solution, but multi monitor with
linux is crap, and synergy is a wonderful tool! :)))
