I have the same question as the above poster, but for linux.
Anyone have a way to handle software broadcasting in linux?
Or if not that, then maybe source code for the modifications made to the
above link, so that I can attempt to write it myself?

I am having a little problem when playing WoW.
When I go from my main screen to my laptop, it minimizes WoW to the desktop and then there is about a 3 second delay before I can get back to the main screen, is there anything I can do to correct this?
Thanks.
run wow in windowed maximized mode in the video settings in wow that solves that problemOriginally Posted by Xarry
Is anyone able to keep WoW in fullscreen mode on the server computer when using Synergy? I'm unable to move the mouse to a client machine when I do this, and am forced to keep WoW maximized in windowed mode in order to access the client's screen. This degrades performance of the game somewhat, so I'm hoping there's a workaround.
Secondly, any update on whether a broadcast-enabled version of Synergy for OS X is available, or whether we can get the source code for a broadcast-enabled version?
Have you tried the second link Ellay's first post of this thread. It has broadcast capability.
Yes, but that is a Windows-only version of the executable, and I do not recall seeing any source code included in the ZIP file; for non-Windows users, it doesn't help with broadcasting.
The source code to synergy is available on source-forge.
http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/
I was able to modify synergy to broadcast with OS X.
It just required changes to lib/platform/COSXScreen.cpp, lib/platform/COSXScreen.h, lib/server/CServer.cpp, lib/server/CServer.h
Note that only the server needs to be modified to broadcast. The normal clients are used on the other machines.
I can provide my patches, if you want to compile it yourself, (recommended), or I can provide my executable if you want. Note than this patch requires OSX 10.4 (Tiger), it won't work on earlier versions. And you have to check "Enable access for assistive devices" under Universal Access in System Preferences.
I haven't poked around the Windows code, but for OS X, you have to be in windowed mode, because of the way Synergy works. It more or less creates a tiny invisible window in the middle of the screen that captures mouse movements when you move to a client machine. (That's why the cursor on OS X jumps to the center of the screen when you switch to another computer.) From the descriptions of issues from other people, it sounds like the Windows server code works in a similar manner.
On the OSX version of Synergy, when you switch to another computer, it moves the invisible "capture" window to the center of the screen, moves the cursor to the middle of the screen and changes focus to that invisible window. So even if you could switch computers while in full-screen mode, the act of focusing on that invisible window would make WoW minimize, which would be bad. So, we have to live with the maximized windowm which isn't too bad, IMO.
Fantastic! An executable would fine, as I'm also running 10.4. If you prefer to e-mail it to me, my address is wyldkard (at) mendax.org.
If you'd like, I'd be happy to set aside a little server space to host the executable and/or source code for other Synergy users under OS X.
Thanks mate.run wow in windowed maximized mode in the video settings in wow that solves that problem
