</p><h4>Introduction</h4><p>
|
||
|
|
synergy: [noun] a mutually advantageous conjunction of distinct elements
|
||
|
|
</p><p>
|
||
|
|
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).
|
||
|
|
</p><p>
|
||
|
|
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. <a href="about.html">Learn more</a>
|
||
|
|
about how it works.

</p><h4>System Requirements</h4><p>
|
||
|
|
</p><p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me (the Windows 95 family)
|
||
|
|
<li>Microsoft Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP (the Windows NT family)
|
||
|
|
<li>Mac OS X 10.2 or higher
|
||
|
|
<li>Unix
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>X Windows version 11 revision 4 or up
|
||
|
|
<li>XTEST extension<br>
|
||
|
|
(use "<span class="code">xdpyinfo | grep XTEST</span>" to check for XTEST)
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
All systems must support TCP/IP networking.

|
"Unix" includes Linux, Solaris, Irix and other variants. Synergy has
|
||
|
|
only been extensively tested on Linux and may not work completely or
|
||
|
|
at all on other versions of Unix. Patches are welcome (including
|
||
|
|
patches that package binaries) at the
|
||
|
|
<a target="_top" href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=59275&atid=490469">patches page</a>.

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
|
||
|
|
<a target="_top" href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=59275&atid=490467">filed as bugs</a>.
