Synergy (https://synergy2.sourceforge.net/) is a software KM
package which lets you use a single keyboard and mouse for multiple
computers each with their own video display. This may be a useful
alternative to hardware KVM!
To use synergy, install the package:
Next, create a config file /etc/synergy.conf:
section: screens
computer1:
computer2:
end
section: links
computer1:
right = computer2
computer2:
left = computer1
end
section: aliases
computer1:
computer1.hostname.com
computer2:
computer2.hostname.com
end
|
Then, start the server on the computer with the keyboard and mouse you
want to use:
And lastly, we start the client(s):
synergyc -f --no-camp server-hostname
|
Move the cursor to the right of computer1 and it should pop up on
computer2! The clipboard is even shared across the computers.
