He's not using a splitter. It's physically impossible to do true dual screens (extended desktop) without hardware that makes it possible, which in the case of video cards, is part of having two outputs, but most importantly the hardware to make it work correctly.

If he doesn't have dual outputs on his video card, then he's using some kind of hardware splitter that I don't know about. Which is completely possible. I just know it's not possible with a simple Y cable.
