Has anyone tried this? Good/bad feedback? <http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/index.html>
> Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple > computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without > special hardware. It's intended for users with multiple computers on their > desk since each system uses its own monitor(s). > > Redirecting the mouse and keyboard is as simple as moving the mouse off the > edge of your screen. Synergy also merges the clipboards of all the systems > into one, allowing cut-and-paste between systems. Furthermore, it synchronizes > screen savers so they all start and stop together and, if screen locking is > enabled, only one screen requires a password to unlock them all. They do say: > The Mac OS X port is incomplete. It does not synchronize the screen saver, > only text clipboard data works (i.e. HTML and bitmap data do not work), the > cursor won't hide when not on the screen, and there may be problems with mouse > wheel acceleration. Other problems should be filed as bugs. I just came upon this today & haven't seen anything about it before - though Googling came up with half a million results! - haven't got time to go there just now ;) <http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen -US%3Aofficial&hs=yft&q=synergy+2+mouse+keyboard+Mac+OSX&btnG=Search&meta=> So I thought I'd just check out the WAMUG feedback?
