Synergy doesn't display, so a headless box won't work well with it. Ive been useing it for quite some time now. I was useing x2vnc for awhile but found synergy to be much more useful. It is able to control lots of clients, linux, windows, OSX and you can have several "screens" at once so If you have an array of screen on your desk more than likely you can use 1 configuration, 1 keyboard, and 1 mouse for all.
I'v never used the windows client for gameing but on the server, enlightenment looses the ability to switch virtual desktops useing the mouse without pressing an extra key when hitting the screen edge. I use shift. On Thu, 16 Sep 2004 13:29:27 -0500, Alvaro Zuniga <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Adam: > This seems great. I was wondering about the performance of this > application.
