[Solved] 2 computers, 4 screens and weird mouse jumping

Hi all,

I have a setup of 2 computers with 2 screens each both operating WinXP (1 desktop with display #1 1050x1680 and #2 1680x1050 and 1 laptop with #3 1920x1200 and #4 1280x1024). Synergy principally works as expected - I am using the desktop as server, laptop as client, synergy operates them as one big wall 1234 from left to right.

But - when I am working on screen #3 or #4 the mouse cursor is periodically (about every 10s) and without any interaction other than moving it jumping back to a specific position on #3. What I could find out so far:

• the above described happens in versions 1.3.4 as well as in 1.4.5
• the position which the mouse jumps to on #3 is always the same and not influenced by the position where the cursor was before (it is always x:1600 y:600 - 0:0 being on the top left edge)
• the timer (if I may call it that way) seems to be external - meaning not related to any of my user actions. Suppose t0 being the time when the cursor jumped. If I now wait t0+8s then move the mouse it will jump back on t0+10s. If I would wait t0+2s the mouse cursor would still jump back after t0+10s (hope you get what I wanted to express)
• the period of 10s was measured by hand (so it may well be anything between 8 and 12 seconds ;-)

Any ideas for a solution of the problem?

Edit:

Another try: Making the laptop the server and the desktop the client (same display layout as above 1234) results in the same behaviour with the following difference

• mouse jumps always to position 322, 840 on #2 (not so sure about 322 there may be a little error about this value)

Remarkable: The y value seems to be half of the y-resolution of the primary display (being #1 and #3) of the clients screen setup. It does not jump on the primary display but on the one being 'closest to the last server display'

Maybe this gives additional hints for solving the issue
