Happens on my N810 as well, I have no idea why is this happening.

Re: Synergy on OS2008 - Kbd/Mouse sharing with desktop

I have succesfully manage to "synergize" both my N800 and Macbook (had the idea of doing it after receiving my OTG USB Dongle and saying to myself, "Hey, this is cool. If only I could do this wirelessly through my laptop" and after some second the "OH WAIT" moment just come through :P)

I'm still experiencing some issues, though. Besides the already mentioned bug about clicking on the Application menu, the Icon cursor seems to work fine when starting the N800, but after loading a second application, it dissapears on most parts, only appearing -sometimes- on some sections of the GUI.

I'm almost sure it's just because the lack of proper support of the mouse on the device (after all, there was not supposed to be a mouse in there :P) but still think I should ask if I was doing something wrong or is maybe a proper solution.

a. The buttons on the left edge of the screen (the task manager) are not clickable with the mouse makes it almost impossible to 'drive' the device

a. to Eero Tamminen for this

The problem is caused by the N800 giving priority to pressure information rather than remotely-input mouse clicks. This can be circumvented by disabling pressure information usage, by running the device X server with XInput protocol/extension disabled.

To do this, modify the file /etc/init.d/x-server by adding the option "-extension XInputExtension" to the end of the ARGS="...." string, preceded by a space, and then rebooting the device.

(I did this by copying the file to the home directory, editing it with vi and copying it back.)

Eero warns: "Note that if you make a mistake and X server doesn't start, your device could end up in a reboot loop."

Re: Synergy on OS2008 - Kbd/Mouse sharing with desktop

Hello,

I tried to install the first packet to run it on my N800 and I get "Incompatible application" (which I translate from french). Do you have any idea what it could be, or what I should provide to you so that you could help me?
Thanks

TTT, anyone know the solution to this? Same problem with both synergy and quicksynergy debs posted in this thread. Running the latest version of Diablo.

Re: Synergy on OS2008 - Kbd/Mouse sharing with desktop

I compiled it today and it works fine, but no mouse support in standard Diablo. If someone knows how to get it working (didn't have time to search for it and experiment, I'll upload it (probably not suitable for extras or extras-devel yet though).

Re: Synergy on OS2008 - Kbd/Mouse sharing with desktop

interesting, using this one could turn the N8x0 into the nexus of a synergy setup, right?

kinda like a very expensive kvm switch ;)

Re: Synergy on OS2008 - Kbd/Mouse sharing with desktop

Yeah, but without the switching :)

Re: Synergy on OS2008 - Kbd/Mouse sharing with desktop

I'm also looking for a solution.

@ Bundyo
Just in case you have not made your mouse cursor visible: You can do this by changing "xcursor-transparent" to "xcursor" (or maybe just anything else) in the file /usr/share/user-icons/default/index.theme . And then restarting X of course.
