alternatives for synergy virtual kvm

hi there,

does anyone of you know alternatives to synergy (synergy-project.org) since it isn't working properly anymore on a windows / linux setup?

cheers

What do you mean it doesn't work anymore?

I have to restart clients every 30min because synergy crashes, the synergy server causes problems with photoshop and my game development software. Older versions have several bugs as well (shift not working...). All these issues persists for over 6 months now and it gets worse with every new version.

I know that trouble..

Now there is https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/synergy-git/ available in the aur. It works pretty good for me on linux.
On windows there are nightlies available. See http://synergy-project.org/nightly - RC7 is working pretty good for me.

Alternative i know is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplic … oftware%29. But only works on windows xp and up (maybe wine?), and is a "maximum profit company".

Also you could downgrade synergy. Try 1.6.3 - good chances it may work.
