How reproducible:
always

Comment 3 Dave Hodgins 2012-04-12 05:11:12 CEST

Testing complete on i586 for the srpm
synergy-1.4.7-0.1.mga1.src.rpm

Using the config file from comment 2, I used qsynergy to start
the server, then used it to start the client in a virtualbox
guest, with mouse integration disabled.

Moving the mouse off of the right of the host screen, it would
appear on the left of the vb guest.  Moving off of the left of
the vb guest, it appears on the right of the host.

Comment 4 Derek Jennings 2012-04-12 18:57:57 CEST

Update Verified on x86_64

Tested with Mageia 1 server and Mageia 2 client on virtual box with mouse integration disabled.
Confirmed as mouse went over edge of screen mouse focus would switch between client and server.

Could sysadmin please push synergy-1.4.7-0.1.mga1.src.rpm  from core/updates_testing to core/updates

Advisory
--------
The version of synergy in Mageia 1 is incompatible with Mageia 2
This update brings synergy to revision 1.4.7 to make it compatible.
