Install a software-only keyboard/monitor switcher
Authored by: xSmurf on Feb 04, '05 03:12:26AM
Wow I finally got this to work. I can't believe I am the only one in this situation so here's a quick overview of how I managed to do it. first off my synergy.conf file:
section: screens TechPad: xsmurf: server: end section: links # larry is to the right of moe and curly is above moe TechPad: left = xsmurf right = server xsmurf: right = TechPad server: left = TechPad end section: aliases # curly is also known as shemp TechPad: TechPad.local xsmurf: fripouille.local server: 192.168.1.20 end
Not that fripouille.local and 192.168.1.20 is are the same machine. and xsmurf and server are the two user I use with Fast User Switching. Now on the client side use the method of your choice to start synergyc client. But make sure that one thread will be started for each user. I start synergyc with $ synergyc -n USER_NAME SERVER_IP. So now I have one user on one side of the server monitor and one o the left. It's not ideal, but it does the job good. The only thing it will not allow you to control is the login window.

Sorry, should have been (ho yeah, and TechPad is obviously the server host):

section: screens
	TechPad:
	mlalonde:
	server:
end

section: links
	TechPad:
		left = mlalonde
		right = server
	mlalonde:
		right = TechPad
	server:
		left = TechPad
end

section: aliases
	TechPad:
		TechPad.local
	mlalonde:
		fripouille.local
	server:
		192.168.1.20
end
