Package: synergy
Version: 1.3.6-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I have synergy server running on Linux, and a synergy client running on
the Mac. Both client and server run at 1.3.6.
When I move my cursor from the Linux to the Mac, from time to time gdm
will immediately halt and restart. This makes using syslog chancy at best.
I have a ~/synergy.conf file - note that it does *not* have a leading
"." but works regardless. The contents are:
section: screens
linux_computer:
mac_computer:
end
section: links
linux_computer:
left(40,60) = mac_computer(40,60)
mac_computer:
right(40,60) = linux_computer(40,60)
end
section: options
switchCorners = all
#switchDelay = 500
end

I gave Moshe a few days to make sure his new-found stability wasn't a
fluke; since there's been no news since then, I think we can conclude
the problem was xorg-related, and not synergy-related. Please reopen or
file a new bug if this comes back.

My latest update, which included xorg updates, seems to have fixed some
minor and not-so-minor annoyances (xsane no longer crashes Gnome).
Synergy 1.4.4 worked well for a day but seemed a bit slow at times,
reason unknown; I've just loaded 1.3.7 from the website's deb and we'll
see if that works just as well.
In other words, at this point I believe the problem was fixed by xorg
updates.
If something interesting comes up I'll be in touch.
