this looks neat. I can't seem to get it working however. I have a desktop computer with 2 displays running linux mint, and one of the displays is an hdtv hooked up with hdmi. I have a debian netbook hooked up to the hdtv on another input with vga. I have a monitor on the left and the hdtv on the right. I want to be able to use the input button to switch the hdtv display to the netbook, and be able to share the keyboard and mouse from the desktop to the netbook with the hdtv by moving the cursor on the monitor (left) to the right. Is this possible? Am I crazy for wanting to do this?

I love this app. It allows me to use one keyboard and mouse on two systems, regardless of OS.

However, Synergy *does not like* Vmware or VirtualBox on linux or a less reliable OS. I have little trouble figuring out why, but that doesn't make it any less of a PITA. vSphere client's Open Console function is fairly useless too.

grumble grumble....
