I have two systems:
1. desktop is the server
2. laptop is the client
Desktop's been running Arch for several months now. Installed Arch on the laptop just a couple days ago. Both systems are configured to use the Dvorak keyboard layouts.
When I'm typing at either machine's physical keyboard, I get the proper layout. ("aoeu" instead of "asdf")
When I'm sharing the desktop's keyboard, the client reads key presses as QWERTY layout. ("asdf" instead of "aoeu"). On the server, keypresses are still read properly as Dvorak.
I'm told that the keyboard layout was supposed to match that of the computer running synergys in all situations.
But this is a bit confusing because when this same laptop was running Debian, the keyboard layout never changed. The desktop configuration, to my knowledge, hasn't changed.
Any advice?

Not sure how relevant this is but there is info here from the Synergy forums.
Similar problem: http://sourceforge.net/projects/synergy … ge=4217953
According to this: I should be getting "aoeu" on my client every time I roll down home row: http://sourceforge.net/projects/synergy … ic/2088503 If that's not the case, why would it ever have worked with any client?

Okay, I figured it out.

On the client (laptop) system, I started synergy and then ran:
setxkbmap dvorakNow when I type from the shared keyboard, the keymap is correct.
