U4919DW, KVM, PBP, usage

Hello

Just taken delivery of one of these yesterday and have to say it is an impressive beast, but have a few issues/questions that I need to ask.  

One of the main reasons for buying was the built-in KVM. However, it appears I may be wrong that this only works with PBP (picture by picture) mode. Wondering if that is correct? 

I have this connected to my own workstation via HDMI and my work laptop via USB-C, with each PC showing three virtual monitors stacked horizontally. Seems like the PBP only works if each PC is showing one huge virtual monitor, not three.  

What I would like to get (if possible) is my work laptop showing 2 virtual monitors and the personal PC showing two in PBP? Is this possible? 

Also, when I first powered up I think I set the USB-C not to provide permanent power and as such the connected laptop goes to sleep. Is it possible to change this as I cannot see it in the monitor menu settings. 

Thanks

Dave
