Hello,
I'm using synergy since years, on windows or Linux.
I would like to use it between my Laptop powered by Linux Mint and a BeagleBone Black ARM board powered by Angstrom linux distribution.
The good news is that Synergy is provided on the Angstrom distribution. The bad news is that it doesn't work.
When I launch synergy client on a terminal of the BeagleBone running Gnome, I get this error message:
sh-4.2# synergyc -f 192.168.1.94

When I start Synergy client from a SSH connection, it start and detect the mouse cursor entry but the mouse doesn't move on the BeagleBone Black and it immediately detect the mouse leave the screen.
I have found a blog where someone seems to run Synergy on a BeagleBoard witch is a previous version of BeagleBones. He indicate to write DISPLAY=:0.0 before the synergyc command but it the same for me.
