[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
    pc:
    Nokia-N900:
    end


    section: links
    pc:
    right = Nokia-N900
    Nokia-N900:
    left = pc
    end

    section: options
    screenSaverSync = false
    # My KVM uses Scroll Lock to switch screens, so set the
    # hotkey to lock the cursor to the screen to something else
    keystroke(f12) = lockCursorToScreen(toggle)
    end
On PC, start server
Code:
synergys -f
(-f means you will see what is happening, you can omit it when it works)

On phone, start client
Code:
synergyc SERVER_HOST_NAME
or
Code:
synergyc SERVER_IP
*Data is transmitter over network (and could be slow)
*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
to shut it down
*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

Your PC might have other IP than 192.168.1.100.
There are no need for root when killing user-started process.

We should merge our knowledge -> http://wiki.maemo.org/Synergy

There is a manner in order to work Windows7?

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.

How would I get this working with my N9 and N900 (N900 as server)?

Unison is written with OCaml [http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/ ]which needs to be first compiled/packaged for Maemo. I would like to hear/learn more about OCaml before packaging it.

This is interesting idea.

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.

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.
