10.5: Make Synergy keyboard sharing work in 10.5
Authored by: osxpounder on Dec 18, '07 11:58:31AM
For those Mac OSX users who are interested in the function Synergy provides, the application "teleport" might suit you. It's dead easy to install and configure. I've been using it the past 2 weeks to share one mouse and one keyboard among 2 Macs, a G5 and a Mac Pro. Each Mac has its own monitor, but I'm using one mouse and keyboard to control them both.

One minor issue to consider: if one of the Macs goes to sleep and requires a password to wake it, and you enter its screen with the mouse, you better know that password, because that Mac won't "let go" the mouse until you've given the password. But you should know the passwords for Macs you control; it's a minor issue and not a fault of teleport at all. Just be aware you can't get your mouse and keyboard control back without that.

You can abort a teleport session with Shift-Control-Option-Command-Esc.
