For example you can move the mouse off the edge of your desktops screen and controle your laptop with the desktops keyboard and mouse. Synergy also alows clipbook shareing all though this can be buggy, but just like windows a quick restart should fix it
This works with meny computers, diffrent OS's and you can conifgure which direction each screen is etc...

#just to make the thread cleaner =)JB4x4 wrote:Here's a quick way to get synergy to work.
I downloaded the synergy binaries: synergy-1.3.1-1.i386.rpm - http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... e_id=58013
Extract the rpm using unrpm - http://dotpups.de/dotpups/System_Utilit ... .undeb.pup , and copy the contents to the correct folders.
Install the following library: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 - http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Libraries/lib ... 2.so.3.pup
The "server" will need a configuration file named .synergy.conf in your /root directory. Here is mine for example:
--------------------------------
# sample synergy configuration file
#
# comments begin with the # character and continue to the end of
# line. comments may appear anywhere the syntax permits.
section: screens
# two hosts named: desktop and laptop
desktop:
laptop:
end
section: links
# desktop is right of laptop
desktop:
left = laptop
laptop:
right = desktop
end
------------------------------
In my example, I start the "server", desktop, with the command - synergys -n desktop - and start the "client", laptop, with the command - synergyc -n laptop 192.168.1.100 - (The ip address of the server)
Note: The desktop is running Puppy 2.16 and the laptop runs 2.14. Mouse and keyboard work, copy and paste seem buggy.
