Re: Looking for a rather interesting program
In the last episode (Mar 26), Dragoncrest said: Friend of mine has a rather interesting setup on his machine that I would like to have on mine. Apparently what it is, he has a program that allows the mouse and keyboard to automatically switch between two computers. So as soon as the mouse moves off the screen on one, it jumps on the screen on another one. The computer who has the mouse on its screen gets access to the keyboard. This program is supposedly able to control up to 4 machines via a network using one mouse and one keyboard and even possibly one monitor for all four of them with an optional setting. There's supposed to be programs that allow you to do this (both for linux/bsd and for windows should you happen to have a windows box in that mix) and I'd love to set those up on my machine, but I don't know what they would be and my friend is gone to another country for several months so I can't ask him. :( Anybody know what this setup is? I know it's not VNC. That much is obvious. It has something to do with the desktops in xwindows...I think. Not totally sure though. Any info is more than welcome. Thanks. It's probably one or more of x2x, x2vnc and win2vnc, depending on which machine the mouse and keyboard are plugged into. ports/x11-servers/x2x ports/x11-servers/x2vnc http://www.hubbe.net/~hubbe/win2vnc.html -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
