Bug #1541 - Can not move camera or character
SourceForge user: tscritt
Well I love your software it works well except for one thing. World of Warcraft uses the mouse to move the camera and character. In Command and Conquer the mouse is used to move the camera. When you move to the client computer everything works except when you try to move the camera or character. The camera and character go crazy running around and spinning around in circles. Synergy is the only software KVM that dose this I tried the others and they work fine problem is they cost. The server computer works fine. If you have had this problem and know how to fix it I would appreciate any information thanks. PS everything else works fine just the movement by mouse dose not work.

I can confirm this. When a graphical program (apparently both d3d and opengl) enters mouselook mode the mouse gets updates of right by a lot plus up or down by a lot. I could not get it to go left. Moving just one pixel's worth moved maybe 25-50 pixels worth (just a guess). When the same application is just treating the mouse as a pointer, it works fine. Applications which by default are mouselook (most fps games) do not work at all - though their menus will, since it's a pointer then. This is with a nvidia graphics card, 64-bit windows, latest drivers.

Solved! I had to look back several pages in the bugs (with many separate reports of this bug) to find the solution. Anyone having this problem: Turn on relative mouse movement on the server options. When you want the fix, toggle the screen lock to on (scroll lock is the default key). This is the only way to enable relative mouse movement, and completely fixes the problem. It also has the effect of locking the mouse to the screen, so when you want to switch screens you have to toggle it off.
