[Announce] Synergy (shared keyboard+mouse) on extras-devel
Synergy lets you share a mouse and keyboard between several computers over a network.
http://synergy-foss.org/ Video: http://youtu.be/I-3nKcU76RU When two or more devices are in same network, one can act as server and it's keyboard and mouse can control another devices too. Just move mouse over screen and focus is switched. (This is version 1.3.6, which is same than current Ubuntu, 11.10, is using. Protocol version is 1.3) USAGE: *You must know hostname of your N900, it might be Nokia-N900. You can check it on terminal Code:
hostname *Install synergy to your computer (or any another device) *On computer: create/modify file ~/.synergy.conf (or /etc/synergy.conf) Example: Code:
section: screens Code:
synergys -f On phone, start client Code:
synergyc SERVER_HOST_NAME Code:
synergyc SERVER_IP *Synergy client uses CPU (and battery) even focus is not even on the phone, do not let it running when not used. (issues on upstream, e.g. http://synergy-foss.org/tracker/issues/2935) -use Code:
killall synergyc *Moving mouse will not wake the screen when dimmed (as tapping touch screen doesn't wake it) *What is the whole point of this? usb-host mode with usb-host and mouse+keyboard works too. (You tell me) |

Can dual control the device for one thing. With the N900 screen displaying on someone's laptop this means lots of fun in multiplayer games if signal from one device and the other can be distinguished. Much better than bt |

There is a manner in order to work Windows7?

Re: [Announce] Synergy (shared keyboard+mouse) on extras-devel
thank you! I was using the debian binary and it worked fine, but it's better to have it in the repos. It does work with windows 7 try downloading synergy+ from SourceForge.
OT. Unison is another debian binary that works fine and just needs repackaging for Maemo. If you have extra time and like porting. |
Re: [Announce] Synergy (shared keyboard+mouse) on extras-devel
How would I get this working with my N9 and N900 (N900 as server)?

N9 as client: Install: http://cc.oulu.fi/~rantalai/harmatta...emo4_armel.deb N900 as server: Fremantle-package all ready has synergy-server (synergys). Only issue will be touch screen, because you can't "move mouse over the screen". There are some use cases for drawing tablets ('wacoms') for absolute/relative coordinates on synergy web page. Let me know if you figure something. |
Re: [Announce] Synergy (shared keyboard+mouse) on extras-devel
I've only gotten the N900 receive input; but when I run the N900 as the server nothing appears on the N9 when I type.
