Quick fix for problems arising with Synergy
I am testing my theory that the mouse fails with xorg/xinerama when
moving from a virtual screen, e.g. with synergy or vnc viewer, to an
area that would be outside of the X screen. Since Xinerama LeftOf or
RightOf aligns the top of the screens regardless of the screen size, the
bottoms will not be aligned when using two different sized screens or
when putting screens in different rotational orientations.
Quick fix for Synergy, set the options to disallow moving between
screens in an area that would put the mouse outside of the gui on the x
screen.
in /etc/synergy.conf (or wherever you store your synergy conf file) add
the following to the remote screen:
section: screens
clientcomputername:
switchCorners = bottom-right
switchCornerSize = 800
mycomputername:
end
800 is the number of pixels in the specified corner within which the
mouse will not move between screens. Mine is 800 because I have a large
portrait monitor for viewing scans and documents.
See http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/configuration.html for more info
I don't know if the same can be done for vnc viewer.
