Synergy

[PR.]

Hi all,

Just before I moved to using a mac as my main computer I started using Synergy to share my Mouse and Keyboard between two PC's. Now I have switched to a Mac Mini for the server I am having problems.

I downloaded SynergyKM http://software.landryhetu.com/synergy/ as I could not get the text based version to work. After setting it all up and getting the client PC to connect to the Mac all is working fine apart from the client PC is my games PC so I need to lock the mouse cursor to the PC screen otherwise the controls go crazy and obviously lots of scrolling in a FPS results in the cursor going back to the Mac's screen

In the Windows version of Synergy Scroll-Lock was used to lock the screen but doing that just brings up with Windows search assistant.

Does anybody know what key can be used to lock the screen?

Thanks

That software is too complicated to get an answer here. It would be best to post on the synergy site or let them know of a bug.
