My problem with this is that you need a desk big enough for three displays. If I'm going to have more then one display on my desk I would like to be able to sometimes have them all attached to a single system. With Synergy each display is still dedicated to a single system. The best possible system might be one that has a single keyboard/mouse and a bunch of displays (with physical monitor switching) which would allow me to on the fly map the physical video outputs from the individual systems in any way that I wanted onto the physical displays which are in front of me. All while still retaining Synergy's ability to let me slide my mouse (and my keyboard input as well) from system to system across the wall of displays. Synergy would have to know the current mapping of system video output to physical display to relay the input correctly. If there are programmatically controllable multiple input/output video switching devices this could be done. I suspect that the hardware required would be pricey though.
