=Usage=

Code:
 * You must know hostname of your N900, it might be Nokia-N900. You can check it on terminal

hostname


 * Install synergy to your computer (or any another device)

create/modify file ~/.synergy.conf (or /etc/synergy.conf)
 * On computer:

section: screens pc: Nokia-N900: end section: links pc: right = Nokia-N900 Nokia-N900: left = pc   end section: options screenSaverSync = false # My KVM uses Scroll Lock to switch screens, so set the # hotkey to lock the cursor to the screen to something else keystroke(f12) = lockCursorToScreen(toggle) end On PC, start server

synergys -f

(-f means you will see what is happening, you can omit it when it works)

On phone, start client

synergyc SERVER_HOST_NAME

or

synergyc SERVER_IP

To shut it down killall synergyc

=Issues / good to know= (issues on upstream, e.g. http://synergy-foss.org/tracker/issues/2935) -use
 * Moving mouse will not wake the screen when dimmed (as tapping touch screen doesn't wake it)
 * Data is transmitter over network (and could be slow)
 * Synergy client uses CPU (and battery) even focus is not on the phone, do not let it running when not used.
