I have a synergy server on linux and two clients - one linux and one windows 7. Everything works great when in desktop modes. On the windows 7 computer everything works well including left click+drag and right click+drag. Both the desktop and full screen modes are the same resolution. When windows 7 is in full screen I get exaggerated click drag movements. In my application this results in the camera spinning wildly.

Any suggestions on a way to constrain or change the scale of the movements in a click+drag event?

I made it too complicated...

it's more like

entering screen 1 relative mode

leave screen 1 relative mode off

sorry I'm so bad at talking about this but the point is...

correct me if I'm wrong but I understand that relative mode is a value that a screen has...

synergy is always aware of each 'screen' that has focus

why can't the synergy settings auto set certain screens to relative mode?

btw I did it with macros

Yeah I'll look into this. Perhaps I can make it the default behaviour.

Is the application a 3D modelling application or a video game? If so, then you may be able to enable relative mouse moves and lock your cursor to the screen. Please look at the user guide for details (link on the help page).

thank you! this not only worked but I automated the process

when I enter the screen I trigger ScrLk and when I leave the screen I trigger it again

this could be a feature... for people who need this relative mouse stuff

Interesting, could you tell me how you automated it?

I have 3 screens... I need this relative thing on screen 1... I put in the file when you enter screen one trigger this key

I think it was the conf file and I think the key was ScrLk

it's simple... relative mode when I'm on screen one relative mode off when I leave it
