Thanks for pointing out x2vnc and x2x. I didn't knew about them. - From what I can see they have quite similar functionality as synergy, only that synergy (if I understand correctly) works with Linux, Windows and Mac, and the master computer doesn't necessarily have to run Linux (correct me if I'm wrong). Btw. according to the synergy developer there's a big refactoring planned, which might add support for things like Qemu interaction (see http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1371199&forum_id=199579). Also see http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1372094&forum_id=199579 about changing the transport layer. Although such functionality not absolutely necessary, it would certainly help :) Regards, Oliver -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDYSspTFOM6DcNJ6cRArD2AKCzRBdSC35PVgHO5ZrdHhyvLRm0OwCfT2NQ gg/U2UDzM1n8HXpyOIIXfiE= =pVww -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
