When using synergy and a non us keyboard layout there is sometimes problems with the chars not being sent correctly (chars that are not on the us layout or in a different location).
I know that others have this problem as well, but the solution that I have found to work for me – so far – is very simple.
Just using force reconnect from the server makes this problem go away 😉
Synergy is a nice software. It shares the keyboard and mouse (and clipboard) over several computers.
Setting it up is not hard and the manual on autostarting it is very nice (http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/autostart.html)
The default for Debian (lenny)Â is gdm; and now comes how to set it up there:
A tip: Before you start editing these files, test synergy from a console to test that it is working correctly, and figure out what options you need.
/usr/bin/killall synergyc sleep 1 /usr/bin/synergyc [<options>] synergy-server-hostname |
/usr/bin/killall synergyc sleep 1 |
/usr/bin/killall synergyc sleep 1 /usr/bin/synergyc [<options>] synergy-server-hostname |
