====== Synergy ======

====== Synergy -> Control a number of Computers with 1 mouse and keyboard ======
Notes: 
  * Synergy does not currently share graphics or switch displays. 2 Monitors must be used.
  * Synergy is only good for Physical Boxes with their own displays. This software **only removes the extra mouse & keyboard**.
  * Synergy works over the LAN, on a number of OS's - e.g. Linux, Windows etc.

===== 1. Install of Synergy on Windows - having a Windows Client, and a Windows Server =====
 Download the windows install from -> http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/

Install software on both client and server.

==== Client Config ====
 O Use another computer's shared keyboard and mouse
 synergyservername
 
 Advanced
 Screen Name: synergyservername

==== Server Config ====
 O Share this computer's keyboard and mouse (server)
 Configure:
           Screens (add):
                         synergyclientname
                         synergyservername
 
           Links (add):
                       0 to 100% of the right of synergyclientname goes to 0 to 100% of synergyservername
                       0 to 100% of the right of synergyservername goes to 0 to 100% of synergyclientname
                       i.e.: server is right of client
                             client is right of server
 
          Advanced
          Screen Name: synergyclientname

It is quite tricky to get synergy setup and working. Without the second Links, the mouse/keyboard will become trapped inside the client. This is why a second link must be added in.

===== 2. Install of Synergy on Linux - having a Linux Client, and a Windows Server =====
