Ok, I have Synergy installed and working.

However, it takes about 6 seconds for me to switch between Server and Client Monitors when moving my mouse from one monitor to the other. Is this normal?, i.e. the 6 second delay for the mouse to show up on the Client computer monitor...

How can I configure settings to switch between Server and Client Monitors more quickly?

Here is my config file:

section: screens
    HP6000:
        halfDuplexCapsLock = true
        halfDuplexNumLock = false
        halfDuplexScrollLock = false
        xtestIsXineramaUnaware = false
        switchCorners = none 
        switchCornerSize = 0
    HP6200:
        halfDuplexCapsLock = false
        halfDuplexNumLock = true
        halfDuplexScrollLock = false
        xtestIsXineramaUnaware = false
        switchCorners = none 
        switchCornerSize = 0
end

section: aliases end

section: links HP6000: right = HP6200 HP6200: left = HP6000 end

section: options relativeMouseMoves = false screenSaverSync = true win32KeepForeground = false switchCorners = none switchCornerSize = 0 end

I also changed the config file with these settings, but this did not resolve the issue: switchDelay = 10 switchDoubleTap = 10

Here is my setup: http://www.box.net/shared/3mm8ttq2z1pc7nfx13s4

Could be that you have a lot of data on your clipboard. See what happens when you copy only small text compared to an image.

That's a definite! I've been having this six second delay for ages. I'm gad I found this article. As soon as I clear my clipboard, the delay is gone! I've now created a little shortcut that wipes the clipboard at the click of a button and I've pinned it to the taskbar, right next to Synergy. Here's how:

Create a desktop shortcut to clear the Windows clipboard content

Right-click on the Windows 7 or Windows Vista desktop or elsewhere, and choose New Shortcut from the menu.

Then in the shortcut location box, enter the following command:

cmd /c “echo off | clip”

At this point you’ll have a desktop icon that will immediately clear the clipboard.

Right-click on the icon and choose Properties, and then change the Run drop-down to “Minimized” to make sure you don’t see the command prompt. You can also assign a shortcut key here.

If you click the Change Icon button and then browse down to this file, you can find a clipboard icon: %SystemRoot%system32shell32.dll

Now we’ve got a desktop icon that will clear out the clipboard in Windows 7 or in Vista.

It doesn't help here. Any other ideas? My server is linux; with Windows client the problem doesn't happen, only with linux client.

Try using the latest version too.
