it depends on a number of things.
You can easily buy extension cables ay of the type of outputs that go between PC and monitor.
You can add a couple of these together to get more distance, but you'll get better results with better quality cables.
I think for VGA you can go up to about ten metres, but depending on the resolution you are using you will also find the signal gets worse as the distance gets longer.
My suggestion is to buy a cable and try it. They're not too expensive.

Actually I solved this myself. I did have the correct driver (it was the only one which would work). But on the drivers download page, there was an additional item called "TBS6281se V2 Change Mode Tool". There was zero documentation to accompany this. I downloaded it and ran it. It is a tool to detect the current run state of both...
