Synergy

SourceForge user: nobody

I'm running the synergy2.sf.net-provided binaries:

./Synergy-1.2.0/synergys -d DEBUG1 -f --config ./Synergy-1.2.0/
synergy.conf

on my Mac OS X 10.3.7 G4 Cube 500 MHz 768 MB RAM,

and the 1.2.0 (installer version) client on my Thinkpad T40p Pentium
M 1.6GHz WinXP laptop, 1GB RAM. Neither system is particularly cpu-
, ram-, or disk-loaded.

When I hold the Shift key down on the Cube, none of the key
downpresses (letters, numbers, etc) register on the WinXP machine.
Synergys's debug output on the Mac seems to show that it is not
sending the key downpresses to the WinXP machine, only ups. If I
run synergys version 1.1.10 on the Mac (keeping 1.2.0 on WinXP)
with the same config file, I don't have this problem (but I do have the
memory leak :( ).

Note that the shift key + other key still works on the Mac's local
screen.

here's a DEBUG1 log from the mac: leaving the mac screen, pressing
SHIFT + ABCD, then (noshift) abcd, then leaving the windows screen:
