Hi I have a video wall of nine monitors. Each Pc had one monitor. All were running Synergy. All Great I have now upgraded one computer with a quad minitor card and want to remove three of my older computers from the system (5,7 & 8 in example below) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 becomes 1 2 3 4c 4d 6 4a 4b 9 However, the configure server UI in Synergy will not let me add the same computer twice (in this case #4) |

It is not possible to split screens using Synergy. Is something like what was asked above possible enough to become a feature of synergy given enough premium donation votes? I'm looking to solve a bit more complicated situation: --1 2c 3b 4 6 8c 8d 9c 9d
- 2 7 and 8 are Servers 3 is client to 2. 6 is client to 7. (will be when I get IT to open up the required port on 6's firewall if possible). 9 is client to 8. I want to have 1 and 5 be client to 2 as well. Everything else works great

Chrisrile, Wow that's a complicated project you're working on. As it is, I don't know anything that would let you do what you're trying to do, for 1 reason, the L with "2". If you could find a way to make 2a into 1b... then it's a pretty straight line... and you could consider this: 1 2 3 4 6 8 9 Yes, 5 and 7 won't scroll directly to 3a and 8a, but it's awfully close. But, if you NEEDED it to work exactly, you could use the older versions I mention below.

Thanks, yes the L with the two has been the tough part, The fourth computer in that quad will be a large screen TV mounted back and further away. I've already modified this to get it to work as much as it does, it used to be: 2c 2b -1 -4 -6 8d 8c 9d 9c 2a -5 3a 3b -7 8a 8b 9a 9b The operators are upset that 3a and 3b are vertical now, but you can see I don't have much choice in order to whittle this down to 3-4 keyboards and monitors.

Thiss, I just posted a similar question... There USED to be a way to do what you are asking, but the new configuration page has done away with it. I wouldn't normally suggest OLDER, out of date software, and there's no promise it will work with your machines, since you didn't say what operating system you were running... HOWEVER... If you really need to make it work, you can find older versions of synergy here: http://synergy-foss.org/download/?alt (old files) or http://sourceforge.net/projects/synergy2/files/Binaries/ (very ancient files) and 1.3 or 1.2 would have allowed you to define PERCENTAGES of the top and side of 4's desktop to go to different machines. And watch my post as well, maybe they will restore these features in a future update. Nick apparently didn't think my mention of the fact that they are older and out of date sufficient... So he added "(Very Ancient Files)" for me. :) Thanks Nick :)

7,1 are XP; all others are Windows 7. does that disqualify me from being able to use old or ancient versions?

You can use a custom synergy.sgc file and in the "section: links" set up your own configuration Here is how the example system is physically set up: (These are all Windows XP systems) And this is how the configuration file addresses the screens: Where can I find a synergy.sgc file to customize?

It is just a text file. You can create it with any plain text editor. You can create one by going to your synergy server and selecting File | Save Configuration As... |
